Triggers are stimuli that cause a response. In a psychological sense, triggers are people, events, or conditions that cause an undesirable psychological effect or reaction.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
Sometimes it is very difficult to decide what to think or what to do. Life is filled with quandaries. Should I look for another job? Would I be happier if I moved closer to my family? Should I continue in this marriage, or is it time to think of ending it? What is the truth of my current relationship? Why don’t I get along with my brother? Why does my life seem unfulfilling?

Illegal drug use is so common in our society that many of us take it for granted. My teenage Clients rattle off the list of illegal substances that they have tried or that they were invited to try. They mention classmates who became dealers. A Northwest Atlanta homemaker told me that she does “polite drugs”. A health professional of my acquaintance, a competitive athlete who would never inhale smoke of any kind, bakes marijuana in brownies. I have known ballerinas who used cocaine for high energy and low weight. Drugs are bought and sold in wealthy neighborhoods and in grammar schools. Are these things important? They are to me. I am a therapist, and I frequently work with Clients who used and cannot stop. This could be my longest blog ever if I allowed myself to give full expression to my concerns; but I am going to keep this short for now and only talk about two possible consequences of illegal drug use.
