Relapse Prevention Using the Trigger Chart | Track Addiction Triggers & Strengthen Your Recovery

This video teaches a powerful relapse prevention tool—the Trigger Chart. It's a simple yet effective method for tracking daily and weekly stressors, emotional triggers, and relapse cues. By monitoring your internal and external triggers, you can start identifying high-risk patterns that put your sobriety at risk.

You'll also learn about HALT: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, and Tired—often extended with “S” for Stressed. This model integrates well into relapse prevention planning for anyone in alcohol recovery, drug recovery, or managing Substance Use Disorder (SUD).

Whether you’re new to recovery or supporting others as a counselor, sponsor, or peer, this video provides essential insight into emotional regulation, self-awareness, and building healthy coping skills.

Why This Matters:
This chart was the foundation of the residential drug treatment program I managed, and remains a core part of my current Addiction Medicine curriculum. It supports clients in recognizing and managing relapse triggers before they escalate into cravings or substance use.
