Break-ups

Definitely understand your concern. Going through the same situation. 3 years sober and what I accomplished in these 3 years. Now that I’m on my own. Feels like I’m back at square one. Starting completely over. Don’t have any advice, except don’t give up Natalie. We got this! Not sure if that’s what your referring to but that’s what it feels like for me. Just a pit in my stomach all the time now. Hopefully I can stay focused and not let all these feelings WIN!!

the worst part about it to me is the waste of time. The last break up i went through was tough but i ended up finding a cool hobby in music production.

Feelings concerning sobriety and breakup tend to mesh on occasion. Try to compartmentalize those feelings and keep your feelings and convictions about being/staying sober away from those that are dealing with the breakup. Easier said than done, I know. It’s not easy. Been there. A suggestion. Hope it helps. We’re here for you.

It stings at first. Ya just fill the void with something else positive.

Work your steps again. I went through nine and a half years. I broke up two years ago. And, today I don't look at one guy on a dating app, I ask out about 10. I have fling my ex off me. And, sometimes I make a guy friend, but I am so interviewing in a way. My friend helped a fat guy in program become a model on Maxim Magazine, he ducked up on her with another chic. So, I don't have to help a guy fall for another chic. I need a guy who has his self together and is ready. Doesn't need me to make him better than I.

Mooch is not mine. However, there is about 10 dating sites I throw myself into and events and concerts and sports. You have to push yourself to go and talk to each guy you think is hot. Just start and smash him. Right guy will turn up and like you more.
