Thanks Ill check this out.

I know that I’m answering a question with more questions, but my triggers tend to slay me if I allow it, rather than disrupt my day, and my coping methods may not work for daily triggers.

No I dont have an alcohol problem, but may have a weed one. I refer to being sober in gambling as I have a serious problem and it has an intoxicating effect on those who quit but Im past that stage and in daily maintance phase.
When one of these triggers happens such as having contact with a certain person who is driving me crazy or a bad customer encounter while working I just get really upset and kinda obsess about the problem. They are simple issues, that I should be able to brush off in a second, but instead I let it ruin my day.
