My family is moving out at the end of the month with two weeks notice from my ex.. I keep pondering on how things will feel without them in my daily life as it always has been. It makes me feel numb and then I feel great sadness and I don’t want to have to stay busy all the time just to avoid going through that. I’m embracing it all, but wishing it was a bad dream. My heart is broken and they haven’t left yet. Finding room mates constantly throughout the two days has kept me busy but.. what should I think when everything is still? I don’t want to wander too far and end up relapsing once I start going out and doing things in public.. I don’t want to but when the moment presents itself, I’m not sure that my tools are sharp enough for this.

Will you still be able to see your kids? Are you still trying to be with your ex? What are your goals?

One day at a time. And when that seems like a lot, one moment at a time.

Oh dear Seth, you have all the tools and will begin acquiring newer ones, updated ones, and shinier ones.
you can't plant yourself in unhealthy relationships and expect roses to grow right? Try to remember to pause

Seth,
My wife left me too, I only see my kids a couple days for a few hours a week and every other weekend. She left me September 31 for another man, Ive been sober since October 5th. I know exactly what you are feeling and I understand your anxiety about everything that your going through. Please don’t lose hope, don’t stop moving forward. I hated myself and couldn’t look in the mirror until Tuesday night. I am still very devastated and heartbroken over this. But there is hope, find an AA meeting get a sponsor work the steps, find a community and talk about it with them. But you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Please don’t give up contact me anytime and we can just talk about what ever you feel. You have this brother!
