Understanding Your Vulnerability

Honest reflection is the foundation of a strong plan. There's no judgment here.

Describe your past holiday experiences with chemsex use. What patterns do you notice?

What specific holiday triggers are you aware of? (family stress, loneliness, parties, free time, etc.)

What emotions typically surface during the holidays that make you vulnerable?

Overall, how vulnerable do you feel going into this holiday season?

1 - Very Confident 5 - Moderate Risk 10 - Extremely Vulnerable

Danger Zone Mapping

Let's identify the specific times when you're most at risk. This is about being strategic, not fearful.

Be specific: "Christmas week" is less useful than "December 24th evening after family dinner" or "December 26th - the letdown after Christmas."

Any additional high-risk weekends, parties, or periods?

Your Protection Schedule

This is where you build your system. Schedule activities that protect you during vulnerable times. The goal is to leave no gaps where relapse can sneak in.

Strategy: For every high-risk period you identified, schedule something protective. This could be: support meetings, check-ins with your coach, time with safe friends, volunteer work, exercise, creative projects, or even just a planned phone call.

Your Boundary System

These are the non-negotiable rules and safeguards that remove the option to relapse. We're not relying on willpower here - we're making relapse structurally difficult.

Which of these safeguards will you implement? (Check all that apply)

Delete all contacts associated with using Delete dating/hookup apps (Grindr, Scruff, etc.) Block dealers' numbers Install accountability software on devices Limit alone time during high-risk periods Financial accountability (limited cash access) Avoid specific locations/neighborhoods Arrange for support companion during highest-risk times

When Triggers Hit: Your Action Plans

Triggers and cravings are normal. Having a specific plan for each removes the need to make decisions in the moment.

IF I feel lonely or isolated

IF I experience family stress or conflict

IF I feel sexually triggered or have hookup urges

IF I have unexpected free time/boredom

IF I'm at a party/social situation and feel triggered

IF I start romanticizing past use or minimizing consequences

IF I have a strong craving or urge to use

IF I feel depressed or hopeless

Your Personal Triggers & Response Plans

Your Relapse Early Warning System

These are the subtle signs that show up before a relapse. Catching them early is key.

Other Personal Warning Signs

When I notice these warning signs, my protocol is:

Your Why: Staying Connected to What Matters

When things get hard, this is what you'll come back to.

Why do you want to stay meth-free through the holidays? What's at stake?

What are the consequences if you relapse? (Be honest with yourself)

What will it feel like to make it through the holidays meth-free? Describe that victory.
