Alcohol Triggers - Why do I get triggered so easily at certain times of day

Alcohol triggers can be a real challenge. Often when we quit drinking we can find ourselves being triggered at the times of day when we used to drink alcohol and it can be hard to overcome the strong cravings that follow.

Why do we get triggered at certain times of the day? Or by certain people or external experiences?

Triggers can come in many different forms, I have known people who are triggered by cooking, returning home from work, seeing a commercial on the TV or radio and others who might drive past a particular store and it causes a strong urge to drink. On top of this we can experience internal triggers, these can simply be thoughts that seem to pop into our heads out of the blue for no apparent reason.

When an alcohol trigger arises it can lead to a strong craving which can be hard to deal with it unless you are prepared with the right tactics. Without a strategy the cravings to drink quickly overwhelm you and become too powerful to resist.

This video is part of my series on the challenging aspects of alcoholism explained and will help you understand why we can be triggered so easily and why it often happens at the same time of day.

I also share some advice about how best to deal with alcohol triggers to ensure you are set for success and able to overcome them in the early stages of sobriety.
