i was doing the laundry at the Laundromat and like most times, also chatting with a stranger. this lady first shared her relationship experiences and then got into the topic of triggers to her sobriety. she is a recovering alcoholic and one of her her triggers is ginger ale. she said that when it hits the back of her throat she could also feel her throat burn similar to when she drank whiskey. former whiskey and soda drinker. the soda triggered the sensation of drinking alcohol. hmmm. do i have food triggers? you betcha.
i wanted to bake cookies for my husband's work retreat. the more i thought about it...the more i realized i couldn't do it. who doesn't eat the batter? and then the smell when they came out of the oven? no way. i have no control.
yesterday, i walked near this great pizza place and thought...i should get a pie for john. but as i walked up to the front door i could see this guy eating a just of the oven long garlic bread roll. it looked crazy good. i immediately turned around and thought nope, can't do that.
so yes, i have triggers. who knew?!
