Alcohol And Flashbacks

[bell]

Yes, alcohol has given me flashbacks before and it's not pretty. Therefore, I've learned (the hard way) to stay clear of alcohol if I'm sad or lonely or any emotion even remotely negative. Because I've found that drinking during those emotions is one trigger away from a flashback.

Alcohol never gave me any flashbacks, largely because I wasn't able to drink until long after the initial trauma, and never did during my secondary trauma. It's mainly associated with good things for me. Ofcourse I got out of control with it later on because I was trying to use it to dredge up the good times when I was miserable, so I got in a bad shape with it. Never drink anymore. 2+ years! =)
