I ended it with my sponsor. If I get another one, it will have to be someone who understands PTSD and won't pressure me to do things which are too triggering for me. Overexposure to triggers in early sobriety can result in relapse which I am trying to avoid. I'm taking a short break from AA, maybe a week.

My main issue is not alcohol, it is PTSD. I'm in therapy & a support group for PTSD right now. I really need to focus on learning to manage my PTSD and the truth is, AA triggers it a lot. So I'm going to take some time to figure out how I need to work my recovery program.
