I agree he should not have shared in mixed company. There are men's meetings for that. I feel meetings should be pretty open to talk about a wide range of topics that have to do with our mental health and addictions. Not just pure alcohol and the steps and so on. It should not be a dumping ground either. Obviously there is a time and a place. He needs to go to a men's only meeting.
I am sorry it took away from your 30 day chip. Triggers and learning to deal with them are a part of recovery. Our obsession to use can be triggered by peoples stories as well.
Great job on getting your 30 day chip. That is huge!!!
