When I look at 2020 from a recovery standpoint, when I look at Triggers from an addiction mindset. If I'm not looking after myself. If I'm not taking care of my needs, or looking out for my mental health. It won't take much to trigger me. The same triggers for you, may not be the same triggers for me. In this episode we talk about how a single match stick (if left unchecked) can turn into a dumpster fire.

When it comes to comfort zones, what makes you feel comfortable might be different than me. A comfort zone is reassuring, but there's also a negative impact from comfort zones. From an addiction perspective, if I limit my view of life, by restricting my perception only seeing things I want to see. If I'm only having conversations that I want to have. I'm now artificially creating certain outcomes. This could be called meticulous, or culpable. This is an artificial comfort zone. My comfort zone might not actually be comforting.

What's more challenging. The year 2020, or separating myself from Ego? Identifying there's a problem is one thing, reaching out for help is another thing. Ego & Pride can stop both. Ego & Pride have never served me. They don't serve others, and they certainly don't serve the greater good.

In 2020 there's no shortage of stress. What would happen if I had just one drink? In today's episode we play the tape to the end. *spoiler alert* My world would fall apart. Hands down, my addiction would get the best of me. It starts with just one drink, but rapidly escalates out of control. I share what I do to stay one step a head of my addiction.

Anchoring mistakes & lessons to buzzwords can be both hilarious and fun. Like one time, I accidently bought double the cooking ingredients and found myself pivoting to a new for meal prep strategy at 11 PM. We've talked about identifying emotions. The ones that impact my mood the most are Hungry. Angry. Lonely. Tired. To avoid becoming HANGRY, I spend 90% of my day looking after these. Friends don't let friends make decisions when they're hangry!

For the longest time, Ego & Pride held me back from embracing recovery. I was afraid of what my friends & family would think of me if I reached out for help. Join us as we talk about how a support group (for me), served as my higher power in early recovery. There's a certain level of accountability and support that can come from support meetings. Forming healthy habits is difficult for anything new, especially being open and honest (with myself and others).
