25 days sober and am having a tough few days. A relationship that was important to me ended in 2024 and I’m still greiving the loss. Feels exceptionally hard without booze numbing these feelings. I want to brush myself off and make something of the day but I just can’t seem to find the strength to do so.

Jenn, I totally have felt that in a similar situation. It suuuuuckkkss! But I can tell you from experience that you will get through this and see that it all is a blessing.
When we drink or get high and numb out we never really heal.
When we stay sober and feel, we heal😊
Are you working with a sponsor yet?
I’m here if you want to talk

Thanks so much for these kind and insightful words Danny, you’re totally right. I have a really great therapist who I’m grateful for. After that post I made a really healthy meal, did a face mask (as silly as that sounds) and took my dog on a long walk. The urge to drink passed and I’m feeling relieved that I didn’t let myself slide.

Realize you said "tough few days" and it's truth, sometimes I just go to bed, not super helpful. Better days ahead

CONGRATULATIONS on your 25 days. Life happens even in sobriety. Relationships are not any easier.
Ohhh to have something numb the feelings like an ostrich burries its head in the sand.
I'm in your situation. Except I let it get the better of me. I will hopefully learn from it. I am trying to do this alone and it's just not working. I need a support group like this and a therapist. Moving past this will be tuff but I'm going to do my best.
Congratulations Jenn! Keep on pushing one day at a time! I suggest you find some people in an AA meeting who will Love you until you can love yourself without this person. Try reading page 417 out of the Big Book it has helped me in situations I couldn't accept! I'm rooting for you!
