I'm Catholic, tho not a regular churchgoer now.

I've taken both the Host and the wine in communion a few times since I got sober. I prayed on it.

I've never felt triggered. I did not reset my count. I believe in transubstantiation.

I ended up in recent years only taking the Host tho, simply because I'm always scared I'll drop the chalice.

I still feel as those Host only communions counted - after all I can remember back to when it was always Host only.

If you're worried about it, or you feel triggered, or you feel it's ethically wrong for an alcoholic to do so, that may be a solution for you too?
