Even clean,I found it too difficult to go to clean/sober dances.I hung out in clubs,alot when I was using.That environment was a trigger for my using.
When I got clean,I tried to go to clean/sober dances,but just the thumping music,the acrid odors of too much perfume and cologne sweat and cigarette smoke,had my heart beating out of my chest.

With us there is never the single choice,we never want just one of anything.
1 is too many,a 1000 never enough.
The disease of more.
I never set out to get buzzed,annihiliation was my drug of choice.You're disease is quite cunning,it will always tell you that you want one,especially all the time.LOL
You are discovering your using triggers,that is a good thing in disguise.You think it's something to worry about,and it is.But your points of temptation will also teach you when to be strongest in your fight against using.
I was once told to stay away from people, places, and things. that did not make scense to me until one day the light went off. i do not go to places where people are using. I do not hang out with people that are using, and I do not do things that will make me want to use.
My disease is a big one. It will tell me that will power is something that all i need. I now know better. I hope you will find a way to help yourself, because using is always an option for people like us.
