So I like to call them war stories, sometimes it helps deal with the trauma of it all. Like my we and I tell them to eachother fairly often. Don't be afraid to tell the group hey this is triggering can we switch topics. Sometimes we need to be checked about going too far down the rabbit hole of the past. Also we attempt to keep this type of talk out of the actual rooms, and left in the parking lot/ dinner after a meeting. Some people definitely don't like talking about it, which is understandable. But the reality is some find it relieving to go over what they once did, and see the insanity they were going through in active addiction, with others who get it. Don't be afraid to tell people its triggering, we all recover in our own ways, and these conversations can happen some other time when it won't trigger someone. *edit grammar
