Distinguished from triggers, danger zones are scenarios where one is more prone to relapse, such as boredom, stress, and isolation. The episode outlines three key strategies: identifying personal danger zones, avoiding them when possible, and creating accountability structures. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of both external and internal strategies, such as setting boundaries and connecting to personal values to build resilience. These insights are geared towards individuals overcoming addiction and anyone aiming to change bad habits.
