Dealing with loss, cravings and how to handle triggers?

Anyone dealing with obsessive thoughts? What I mean is triggers which facilitates falling off the wagon? I have a myriad, however I've tried to keep busy but that craving arises. Especially around a number of past mistaken friendships, and being reminded of those times.

I feel the need especially now these days, it is now exactly a week until my best friends death day.

Four years since he died and I feel a great urge to use. Do anyone have any advice regarding emotional loss and abstaining in a healthy manner?
