What Dee said makes sense to me. After my first ever meeting I felt a strong urge to drink, so I bought plenty of nice food on my way home and treated myself instead. But no one at the meeting was giving drunkologues so I wasn't triggered by that - it was because it was a new and uncomfortable experience. I'd never been to anything like that before.

But, yeah, I've sat in meetings where someone's described a bottle of beer down to the condensation on the outside of the bottle so I can see how that might be triggering. If that's the kind of thing that's triggering you, I agree with others on this thread that you should seek out Big Book and Step meetings, where people are more likely to be talking about living in the solution than drafting beer adverts.
