I’ve been divorced for a year. I met someone else. I always have a fear for change. Does anyone else deal with this?

With my ex I remind myself it’s just a memory, he held my thoughts for so long the thought loops are easily grabbed, I will say them out loud and ask my higher power to help me replace with a new preferd thought, you can also pick a mantra to replace it with use the serinity prayer it will fade with time you have to make a new mental path just like you do with drinking

I remember that cycle it’s tuff. Try to find a group that is going through the same experience; celebrate recovery, divorce care, finding friendships through the tuff times.

That’s a tough one. I have those crop up occasionally myself. I try to be of service and or busy my mind with chores and such. I was with my wife for 20 years.
Lots of thoughts there, but it does get easier as time passes.
Hang in there :grin:
