The Recovery Protocol: Triggers vs Cues

You are not failing. If you find yourself caught in an old habit loop, it is simply your brain reacting to an environment that has not been updated yet. Acknowledge the struggle, take a deep breath, and know that you have the absolute power to rewrite your programming.
