My Mom & Dad are both Triggers for me, big time. They don’t understand how to talk to me so I told them they were triggers for me. They decided to try Al-Anon. They have made major changes to try not to trigger me now after hearing others stories and how it can destroy things for us. They Still do trigger me, but I always apologize, and tell them to please stop saying/ doing what they are. Very tough situation but I look up to you, I relapsed June 22 until Aug 2. You’re way ahead of me and give me strength, stay strong, great job!
I truly hope you're going to more meetings than your parents! Did your parents ever hold a gun to your head and force you to drink/use? Me saying I'm triggered is just my excuse for placing my abuse on other people. It wasn't until going through the steps that I learned that I am the problem. Drugs and alcohol were my solution to all of my problems.
Just remember that using will not help at all. It's so easy to forget at times, but definitely true.
