I’m glad you were able to get out of that unhealthy relationship. You’re worth your sobriety!
Thank you Angel! I’m having a specially hard day today dealing with the emotions and it helped reading your response “I’m worth my sobriety”
Thank you for the information, “ the Jenn “-look forward to attending and for sure, will reach out with questions. Rooting for Roshni and everyone here ( as Roshni relayed, right - we are never alone ). This community has become a much needed lifeline, grateful for yalls honesty and courage. ( And mine, also ). Solidarity.
I couldn’t relate or agree more. I don’t understand why healing has to be so painful. I left my relationship of 7 years and feel like I lost everything. I spend most days in a haze, not knowing what to do or think. Starting over seems unbearable. Old me would have drank until I passed out. I don’t want to be that person anymore and I know there’s a version of you that you don’t want to be anymore. Just as we outgrow relationships with others, we outgrow old behaviors. You’re not alone. We can get through this. I’m here if you ever need to talk.
Thank you so much for that Kylee and I’m here if you need to talk as well getting out of a 7-year relationship is gonna take time and patience to get over…but we’re all here for you!
Congratulations on your sobriety… I did your exact thing and now the relearning process will be so much better, you can do things differently than before and make your life so much better. Think about everything you wanted to do but couldn’t before and start doing them and take it one step at a time. You will achieve your goals and your life will be better than ever before and you will be so excited about it..
I totally understand. I was in a relationship where substance abuse was encouraged, it drug me down and put me in a dark and alone place. It put me in a place where I depended on alcohol when I woke up and to get me through the day after my breakup. But I now realize no matter how hard it is you have to love yourself first and by that I mean your sober self. If you can't do that then you're not truly living life. You are stronger than any substance or any relationship. Stay strong, we all are cheering you on.
Recovery would be easy if life wasn't still being life. When we get clean and sober all the things we used to numb ourselves with are no longer the best option and we're left with ourselves and our feelings. Keep pushing; the struggle today is SO worth the reward later down the line
Don’t look back! Keep going forward. You’ve completed a step of realizing you needed to get out of the relationship. I read today that it might not get easier but it will get lighter. You’ve got this! Personally getting out of the toxic relationship I was in and not looking back was hands down theeee best thing I have done for myself and my family. Stay sober, it will only make it better!
Try to stay busy…. Prayers up
