Triggers
I never really understood fully before what 'triggers' were. Not alcohol related ones anyway.
Now I do. Big time.
I thought I was doing OK now.
But theres something on here that give me cold sweats, hot sweats (really, actually, physically, makes me feel sick etc)
I don't know what to do to make me feel 'right' again. I'm trying to avoid it all I can but I'm really drawn to it. I do so well at not looking, but then I feel I want to, and it all starts again.
How do you deal with this? It's the first time it's happened like this for me, and I don't know how to deal with it at all.

Aw Lucy, I'm sorry to hear that something is affecting you so adversely. I remember reading one time about "compartmentalizing." It's akin to denial in the sense that when something is too horrible to deal with, we tuck it away into it's own "compartment" until we are ready to face it.
Maybe it could be something like that? I don't know. Do you have someone (like a therapist) you can talk to about it?
