Dallas Bragg used journaling in early sobriety to map his relapse cycles and spot the two months when his triggers got worse. Writing down his thoughts let him catch depressive patterns before they spiraled and notice physical stress signals his body sent. He could intervene early, stopping the cycle before it pulled him back.

With my clinical depression, I was able to stop it in its tracks because I was able to pinpoint patterns. And when I saw my thoughts returning to that same pattern, I was able to put the brakes on. I identified in my sobriety journey, journaling, 2 months that were my most heightened triggers. I noticed that in my writing that those were heightened, that the triggers were hard, they were rough. The body knows. The body knows, and it's a sign.
