Man, I felt like I could feel your anguish. I'm sorry you're going through this. Abusive relationships are a weird thing, like addiction we keep going back thinking it will be different this next time or for that temporary "high". Therapy works wonders. Just do some research for a good Dr. You can do this, you are crushing it even though it may not feel like it. It's obviously not healthy, stop going back and don't worry about relationships at all for a while honestly. Fight through the pain of being solo for a while and come out stronger than ever, knowing you don't "need" anything or anyone but yourself and god.

I know the feeling, seriously. I was in a pretty bad emotionally abusive relationship for three years and kept going back again and again. It was prob ten years ago but I still think about her and how she is doing. So crazy.

So insane how we hold a place for an abuser.

Same thing for drugs and alcohol too, it feels good for a time but always messes us up and hurts us and even others around us but we have such a hard time staying away. It really is crazy that we can't "just say no" we need help. We need, from God, others. Community is so huge because it allows others to normalize things we think aren't normal.

Good morning Vivian let me 1st say congratulations on your time claim in sobriety We have an addiction that alarm that allowed us to do things that we that we should not have done to our loved ones to our selves but We are different now we get a second chance or shall I say another chance to to enjoy life abundantly it's wonderfully it's gonna come with pain it's gonna come with anger it's gonna come with sadness No matter what we have another chance we we deserve everything that is good everything that is positive everything that it's pure we deserve it we allow our addiction to take that away from us but now we hear to take it back I'm sorry about your relationship with but guess what there is another one waiting for you but you have to take care of you 1st once once you are established that then your life can start then you can grab the things that you love so dearly and run with it This time we will be able to appreciate and be grateful for the things that we things that we accomplished and regained back into our lives I know the feeling that you're going through I've been through it as well but as well but once I start loving myself what's my self esteem for a building backup Sky was delighted for me and it can happen to you as well allow no one to take away your sobriety let that be your number 1 priority Make sure you get connected to a strong group of positive and people that are winners Go to meetings And if your spiritual please pray that makes it a lot more easier when you have a higher power So yes you have tears now of sadness but soon you have tears of joy and happiness yes because you stuck with it you you brought yourself from the bottom back to the top And there's one thing that my counselor used to say to me and that stuck with me till this 2nd Always remember to do the next right thing better than you did the day before And please remember this you are special today you will be special tomorrow you will always be special to oneself love yourself love others And don't let one bad Apple spoil it for the breast for the breast you have a long beautiful life ahead we all do let's not get stagnated in the bad let's fall forward to the Future you have yourself a great day for great day a blessed day and be safe

You got this my friend. This “New” life is about you. If outside individuals create doubt or cravings…. Always better to cut the ties. It may be hard at first but worth it. Send me personal message.
