AA and HSP
As an HSP and recovering alcoholic, I know these as intertwined. After quitting drinking and starting AA—with a sponsor and the steps—I feel something vital is missing, likely because of my sensitivity. HSPs often drink to cope with stress, as I did.
I have not yet spoken to my sponsor (who I think is not an HSP) about this and now wonder whether to seek one who understands it. Past mentions of HSP have gone nowhere—few recognize the term. I hesitate to raise it in meetings.
Has anyone experienced this?
