You can do whatever you want. You can get shĂŻt face wasted over some dude you dumped. But, then you have the consequences to deal with. Those consequences may be small or they may change your life or someone else's, very negatively.

Think about the probability and ge

That’s so hard. I’m sorry! Try to funnel your focus into things other than drinking that can be healthy and addictive I.e., fun physical activity, do something kind for others, start a not for profit etc . Good luck !!

Drinking will only make it worse. This is your prime opportunity to focus on yourself. It’s not easy but if you want sobriety you’ll make it happen :muscle:t4:

You will wake up hungover and feeling even worse. It’s a temporary solution, try looking up emotional sobriety talks on YouTube it helped me get over a similar situation. Best part about it was that I continued to work on myself and now five years later I am the best version of myself. I can date now and not have to worry about them leaving once they saw how much and how I drank and I have choices today. Just work on you and turn toward recovery, believe me if you do that, you meet someone even better and you will be able to enjoy a true relationship.

Stay busy! Go to a meeting in the early evening when you might imbibe with him over “happy” hour. Replace the activities you did with him with something for yourself. Group exercise classes, volunteer, something to get you moving!

First and foremost, your worthy, Don’t drink, I know it hurts and if you drink, you’ll wake up with the same feeling, trust me it gets easier. This is a time to reflect and work on Self. Plug into meetings even when you don’t feel like it. That’s when you really need on, find a sponsor work the steps, I know it may seem overwhelming but it’s the right thing to do. You are worthy, your are special, and your loved by a community who supports you. I will keep you in my prayers. Cindy

You’re so worth it,,, we work on ourselves and things do get better
 the challenges are real
. We just need to stick together, talk to our sponsors and stay honest with ourselves
 I try to work on myself everyday, some days are better than others, but picking up a drink doesn’t ever sound good
. I love my sobriety, getting out of self and helping others ALWAYS helps me
 be well

I hope you’re feeling better, but more importantly I hope you’re doing alright Jenna.

Drinking will just delay the pain if not cause more. I was just left by someone I was with for over 8 years. It isn't easy, so I know that anything I say won't make you feel better. It helped me reevaluate my life, and focus on working on myself even more . Unfortunately I still have to deal with this person because we have a child together. The last thing I need at the moment is the emotional rollercoaster of a relationship, and especially one with someone who doesn't love me. So I had to accept that and just get on with my life. Some days are easier than others, but in the end I know it's the best thing for me. My advice is to move forward with your life. Drinking is such a step back, and will complicate your healing process.

Drinking will complicated your life even more: uncontrolled grief, bad situations, consequences. When you stop dri king that pain will still be there along with whatever circumstances that went sideways. I've tried this coping mechanism more times than I like to admit. Bottom line it doesn't work. Walking thru the pain and coming out on the other side is like a huge weight was lifted from me. Be patient with yourself. Its ok to want to drink just don't pick up and that feeling will pass. Keep reaching out and talking about it. You have a lot of support here.
