The format in the Big Book does not deal with "triggers" it deals with "root causes". A root cause being the character defect (ie: selfishness, fear) that we are going to confess as sin.
The concept of "triggers" is not mentioned in AA's Big Book as far as I can tell. The whole concept of "triggers" is a bunch of Freudian psychological nonsense. . .you might remember Freud. . .he was a Darwinist and a pagan. . .he committed suicide (with a friend's assistance). . .
Triggers and causes are synonyms as per Answers.com:
Whether one uses the word triggers or causes, the concept is the same in my opinion. AA history proves that both the Bible and psychology had input into the program. However psychology doesn't have a solution to our problem.Triggerhttp://www.answers.com/trigger?cat=health&gwp=13
