Breaking It Down: Triggers and Cravings (Part 2)

Not all triggers are external.

Internal triggers are often stronger and harder to recognize.

These include:
• stress
• anxiety
• anger
• boredom
• loneliness

What’s happening in the brain:
• the brain associates these feelings with past relief
• dopamine is released in anticipation, not just use
• the body begins to react before a conscious decision is made

This is why cravings can feel automatic.

Awareness is the first step.
If you can name the trigger, you can start to change the response.

04/21/2026

Prevention happens in moments that matter.

It is the conversation that changes a choice.
The support that keeps someone on track.
The resource that reaches a family in time.

Small moments. Real impact.

04/20/2026

Prevention is a strategy.

A strategy to reduce risk.
A strategy to build resilience.
A strategy to protect futures.

Every conversation matters.
Every skill matters.
Every early intervention matters.

Because what we do early changes everything later.

Friday Focus: Recovery Check

How are you really doing today?
Not the quick answer.
The honest one.

Recovery is not about being perfect.
It’s about showing up, even on the hard days.

Progress over perfection.

Take a moment to check in with yourself:
• What progress did you make this week, even if it felt small?
• What challenged you?
• What do you need right now?

Small steps still count.
Getting back up still counts.
Trying again still counts.
Keep going.

Wednesday Wisdom: Breaking It Down

Triggers and Cravings (Part 1)

Triggers are cues that remind the brain of past substance use.

They can be:
• people
• places
• emotions
• stress

When a trigger shows up, the brain activates memory and expectation.

This can lead to cravings, which are strong urges to use.

What’s happening in the brain:
• dopamine (the reward chemical) is released in anticipation
• the brain remembers past relief or pleasure
• the urge can feel immediate and intense

Cravings are not a lack of willpower.
They are a learned brain response.

Prevention includes helping people identify triggers and build strategies to respond differently.
