Trigger points
Topic: Something to consider
Have you ever heard of the phrase "trigger point?" You probably can guess the meaning. To define it loosely it means something that freaks you out. Trigger points can be too many bills. Family members not listening. Something as simple as a broken dish. You get the point. If you have parents who suffer from addiction anything that freaks them out will drive them to take whatever substance they use. It's their coping mechanism. A bad mechanism. People who do not suffer from addiction have other ways of coping - they 'll shout, go running and/or think it through and so on.  Have you ever thought of your trigger points and how you cope with them? It may help you to deal with life.
