I’m going through a divorce and I’m devastated! I’ve never gone through anything like this sober. I’m in so much emotional pain all I want to do is numb myself. BUT on the other hand I’m so angry at drugs because I got high in the past and made some bad choices now my life is falling apart right in front of me

I'm so sorry Felicia. I'll tell you what we both already know, that drinking alcohol won't actually numb the pain. Alcohol does kill our ability to handle things well though, that's for sure. I hope you find deep healing and solace swiftly.

Alcohol never numbs anything, it only amplifies it, it's just not obvious at first, or until it's too late, and we fond ourselves in the middle of more bad decisions.
It's really unfortunate, and I feel for you, I've been there. But, you're young and attractive and it's time to start a new chapter in your life. Be excited about what a new life in sobriety can be like.

I’m going thru the same thing. This time I have to face heartbreak without a crutch. I’m not sure how to do this. Life on life’s terms? I don’t like it!
I completely understand. It took me a solid year to finally accept my divorce. My ex left me for another woman. I just tried to keep myself busy with work. Stay social, and try not to dwell in your sorrow. Have your moments, but don't let them last. It's good to cry to get out all that negative energy too. You got this.

The only constant is change. What we do with that change can have a positive effect, or a negative one. Feed the white wolf, not the dark one.

Waking up each day is the hardest part about it. I wake up and reality hits me. It’s so hard and I miss him so much sometimes. I just keep telling myself you can do this Felicia ! He was my best friend the first person I told everything to so I have to figure out how to replace that. Thanks for helping build me up everyone

I have been there. Actually going through it right now I have 13 1/2 years being married. the main suggestion I can say is don’t pick up no matter what and it will get better. We are here if you need us thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry that you’re going through this. It sucks. I’m going through the same thing. Just take it one day at a time and try to keep yourself busy. It will pass. Journaling and hiking have helped me a lot. Find a hiking group on Meetup in your area. You’ll meet some great people.
