Set-ups lead addicts to a point in the craving process that can render them defenseless to the pressures of cocaine; a trigger point.  Terence Gorski says there are four primary types of triggers that activate immediate craving.  These triggers include thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and situations that activate craving. 

1.         Thought Triggers:  Thought triggers arise out of addictive thinking or an addictive mind set that creates thoughts about the role that cocaine plays in a person's life.

2.         Feeling Triggers:  Feeling triggers come from sensory cues - seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, or smelling something that reminds them of cocaine.  It also results from experiencing feelings or emotions that were normally medicated by cocaine use.

3.         Behavioral Triggers: The behavioral triggers deal with drug-seeking behaviors and rituals that activate a craving. 

4.         Situational Triggers:  Situational triggers include any stressful relationships or situations that used to be engaged in on a regular basis while using cocaine.
