You're staying focused on reaching your goals and I applaud that. Use your values for building and maintaining motivation. It also sounds like you looked back at what happened and are working towards a new effective belief that you can keep going (ABCs). You're not alone in this.

I've been there. Over time with practice it becomes more natural. Even when I felt like I haven't made progress, I can look back and recognize I have just as you are. Recovery is paying it forward so sometimes our feelings of growth come up from behind.

Sorry about your relationship sweetheart. Time will heal but the poisons we choose to cope only makes it worse. Hugs to you and stay strong

If your partner left, I am truly sorry that is a difficult pain to deal with in the first 90 days of sobriety. Second by second make minutes, minute by minute make days, day by day makes weeks, etcetera etcetera adnosium. Get a few years and have a close and strong support group and it stops being time and turns into love. I don't have much time this go round but I had 6.5 yrs last go and I actually discovered a whole me in that time, as that was my third actual attempt at recovery, been in meetings since I was 15 and I'm 41 and only the past 8 years have I actually tried to learn how to recover. I also just lost a 10 year relationship with who I thought was my soul mate. Talk about fweling lost like a fart in a fan factory. Message me anytime you want ill respond and just listen to you.

Universe def rearranged things so you didnt connect with dealer! Theres obviously a much bigger plan for you. And you should be proud of yourself for not really getting out there looking for it when that fell through!! Remind yourself daily how powerful you are and say Im proud of you to yourself! I notice now the little break throughs like not getting triggered in the world and feel so much gratitude it will multiply for you! You are doing amazing!
