Triggers are people, places, thoughts, feelings, activities or things that cause sex, love & romance addicts to unconsciously go into a trance like state of being & begin to act out in their addiction utilizing their own preferred personal bottom line behaviors. Trigger recognition & avoidance at any & all cost is vitally important in the beginning of the recovery process.
