Olivia has been in recovery for 61 days from the use of alcohol and cocaine. During her aftercare services, her therapist has helped her better identify triggers for use. She creates a list of people, places, and situations that are high-risk triggers and decides whether or not she can keep away from these people, place, and situations or will have to create a better plan. One of her childhood friends, Trey, is the biggest risk factor for her relapse, as Trey is who she first drank with and first used cocaine with. She and Trey now live in different towns and rarely see each other more than once a year. Olivia decides that it would be best to just not see Trey for the next year.
