OK.

It's seems it's very important to you to achieve this goal.

Let's see what else we can do to make it happen.

Identifying Triggers

Managing Cravings differently

Triggers are things that cause us to crave chems; situations, circumstances, events, emotions, places... anything that might make us think (obsessively sometimes), about doing chems. If you learn how to identify triggers, even anticipate them, then you can be better prepared for them. It's always better than being taken by surprise.

Cravings can be overwhelming; sometimes it can feel like they rob us of our power of choice. But if we learn to anticipate, identify and manage triggers better... and if we learn different techniques to manage our cravings when they hit us, we have a better chance of riding them out without using.

TIMES THAT I'M MOST VULNERABLE; TICK ALL THAT APPLY

After work FridaysWeekday morningsSat late afternoon (no plans)Bed time weekdays, can't sleepTravelling home after workSat night, aloneSat night dinner/drinks with friendsSunday mornings, breakfast timeSunday mid morning, no plansSunday afternoon, boredSunday late afternoon, after a busy dayLate night Sat, can't sleep

COMMON TRIGGERS; TICK ALL THAT APPLY

When I'm aloneAfter drinking aloneWhen out drinking with friendsAfter clubbingWhen playing online/on Apps - no specific plansWhen returning to London from a tripAfter a fight with a friend/family member/partnerWhen I feel lonely & miss intimacyWhen I feel boredWhen I feel stressed and anxiousWhen I feel hornyWhen I feel depressedWhen I feel angry at myself, someone else, or at life.When I get unexpected correspondence/an invitation to partyReturning home alone after a night outReturning home to partner after a night outAfter an unsatisfactory sex encounterAfter being rejected onlineWhenever I feel like celebratingWhenever I feel I deserve a reward for "being good"

For some, ChemSex is completely unrelated to alcohol; for others, it only happens after they've a drink or few. Tick the box that's true for you:

I'm always sober when I decide to get high/find a Chem shagMy resistance to temptations/cravings for chems is strong when I'm soberMy resistance to temptations/cravings for chems is definitely weaker after I've been drinking.The majority of my Chem sessions have begun while I'm under the influence of alcohol

For others, a social line of cocaine, bump of MDMA or ecstasy - though not ChemSex - can lead to sex-App use and cravings for Chems & ChemSex. How likely are you to resist ChemSex cravings in these circumstances?

These drugs never lead to ChemSex cravings for meYes, the high from these drugs often leads to ChemSex in my caseSometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on other circumstances
