Dodge These 10 Sobriety Slip-ups!

1. Stress

It’s a beast. Tackle it with exercise or meditation. Keep calm and carry on!

2. Old Haunts

Bars and old buddies could drag you down. Roll with a sober squad or plot a quick exit if things get iffy.

3. Rollercoaster Emotions

Feeling all the feels? Channel them creatively through art or chat them out in therapy.

4. Solo Time

Lonely? Don’t let it get you down. Text a friend, join a club, or hit a meeting.

5. Overconfidence

Stay humble, stay vigilant. Keep up with those support meetings.

6. Tough Feelings

Angst, guilt, the blues—they bite. Scribble in a journal or drum it out.

7. Party Scenes

Weddings, birthdays, holidays—they’re traps! Arm yourself with a non-alcoholic brew and an escape plan.

8. Health Hiccups

Got pain? Talk to your doc about non-addictive help. Stay sharp, stay safe.

9. Boredom

Idle hands? Get a hobby, hit the gym, keep busy.

10. Temptation Land

Drugs and booze galore? Exit stage left or have a strategy to keep your cool.

Understanding these triggers is half the battle. Stay smart, stay sober!
