H.A.L.T. and the 3 Principles: Navigating Relapse Triggers
“If you are hungry, angry, lonely or tired, those are things that are very likely to skew your perception and to throw your thinking center off where you would normally be.”
Feeling hungry, angry, lonely, or tired? These states can be more than just uncomfortable—they can be triggers for relapse in addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy take a deep dive into H.A.L.T., a tool used by Alcoholics Anonymous to help manage these feelings. But they don’t stop there.
Harry and Greg explore these emotions through the lens of the Three Principles—mind, consciousness, and thought—shedding light on how our perceptions can be skewed by these states. Ever wondered why loneliness feels so overwhelming or why being tired can make everything seem worse? The hosts discuss the crucial role of social interaction, rest, and nutrition in maintaining a balanced mindset.
And as a delightful twist, Harry’s three-year-old grandson Alder makes a few appearances, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the conversation. If you’re curious about how to better manage your emotions during recovery or just need some heartfelt advice, this episode is a must-listen.
