Dallas Bragg identifies landing from a trip as a major relapse trigger for men quitting crystal meth. The environmental shift and broken routine spike cravings, so he recommends a detailed transition plan from airport to home: accountability partners, phone blocking, and personal safeguards to get through that vulnerable window.
Here's a trend I'm seeing for men who are trying to quit crystal meth, and that is coming back from a trip. When you come back from a trip, when the plane lands, there's something about that that is triggering. If you're trying to stop and you have a trip coming up, I want you to think about this. Create a transition plan that gets you from the plane to your home. Involve other people, your accountability partners, surrender your phone, put blocks on your phone, whatever it is you have to do. But there's something about coming back from a trip. That is very triggering. And I want to share this with you to prepare yourself, be proactive, be preemptive so that you don't get caught with your pants down.
