In early sobriety, individuals often find themselves grappling with various emotions, triggers, and discomforts that can potentially derail their progress. Understanding the difference between triggers and discomfort, as well as learning effective communication strategies, is essential for maintaining sobriety and living an emotionally balanced life.
