Going Through a Breakup

Struggling Help
#1

I hate that I only post on here when I’m going through something but I am beyond thankful to have some sort of outlet for when I am. This is my first sober relationship and I think its safe to say its coming to an end. My boyfriend moved down to TN from NY with me and he is not happy here. I think I have also pushed him away with my insecurities, making him believe I don’t trust him. He is planning on going back within the next few days and taking our dog with him. I’m just besides myself and could really use some support right now.

Edit/Update:
Welllpp he left already. And hes got the dog who I’m gonna miss most of all :weary: already do.

Arielle I’m so sorry this is happening. Changes inevitable in life sometimes it just doesn’t work out. But you’re doing the right thing you’re talking about it. Even if it’s on here and don’t feel bad about using recovery as I hope for the negative parts of your life. In the beginning, that’s what we all do. Nobody shows up here, grateful and happy and content. If we were grateful happy and content we wouldn’t need recovery. Sorry he’s leaving with the dog but this too shall pass. Pray go to meetings. Talk to your Sponser reach out to your friends. You got this everything’s gonna be OK.

That sucks about the dog! You should write a country song! In all seriousness, it's good you're reaching out. Stay connected. These things happen, but when we count our blessings, we realize how much we've come out ahead.

Arielle, this too shall pass. Sobriety has to be my number one priority in life. Sober I can have it all. Not sober I only get miserable.
There are plenty more guys and dogs. As the best version of ourselves comes to fruition we are prepared for the best relationships.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions
