Just found out I'm in the friend zone with my ex, and really want to get hammered. Any advice?

Getting hammered’s only gonna stack regret on top of hurt.
Right now’s your shot to focus on you, keep building that foundation and healing up. Blessing in disguise? Stay in touch.

Its going to suck. Its going to hurt, a lot. But you have to walk away.
When I start to think about a drink, I'm not working a strong program. I didn't do the things that kept me sober. I also have to remember that I don't stay sober based on yesterday's actions. Everyday I have to suit up and put on the armor to maintain sobriety.
The armor includes
- -Praying, at least in the morning and night
- Going to meetings
- Reading the book
- working with a sponsor
- Being of service e
- Helping someone else
There are a few more simple things that I must do daily that gives me a great shot of staying sober, one day at a time.

If your mission is to make everything worse than drinking will certainly do that. I'd say follow some of Niel's excellent advice and focus on recovery, good luck.

Getting hammerd is a weak distraction that will only lead to hurt. Set healthy boundaries an strong ways to keep you mind thoughts an body away from harm an regret.
Run as far away from him as you can if he is triggering you.We all have to make choices and I usually can always decide what is right and what is wrong. You know in your gut what you need to do to stay sober it's just a question of how bad you want it.I hope you make the right decision. You are in my prayers

Stay strong you can do this journey whatever you walk away from God will bless you with new friends, partners we just have to continue our journey.
