I got really triggered last night. A former friend joined an AA meeting I was hosting on zoom and I knew her from the clinic I saw Ex T at. I didn’t want to, but I decided to reach out in the chat and said hi because I thought it would be the nice thing to do, especially since I’m hosting the meeting. We got to talking and she still sees Ex T and goes to Ex Ts therapy groups she leads. I got really triggered because she said this after we decided to meet for coffee. I had to make someone else the host and leave the meeting because I started to have an panic attack and needed to ground myself. Now I think my sponsor is confused because she asked me what happened and I told her I had to go for a walk. I woke up this morning feeling better but now I’m all embarrassed that my feelings weren’t warranted about Ex T and I’m afraid of telling my sponsor what really happened.
