In this case, because Nicky is getting help for his addiction, it was hard to read about but ultimately satisfying.” It’s still very triggery for me, but occasionally it can be really cathartic to read or watch things that trigger those memories in a certain way. My ex-fiance had a heroin problem, and I had some very traumatic experiences with him and drugs.
