Why this goal matters to me this week

Triggers I can name

People, places, times, feelings (HALT: hungry, angry, lonely, tired)

24-hour action if an urge hits Delay / surf the urge — what I will do for the next 20 minutesWho I will contact, in orderWhere I will go that is less risky than being alone with supply

If I use — keep me alive

Naloxone in my bag / at the door — I know how to use it I will not use alone, or I will use a supervised / virtual spotting option I will test / start low if supply is new Someone with me knows Ontario’s Good Samaritan overlay: call 9-1-1 for overdose Supplies / sterile gear plan
