Loss and a broken heart. Day 6

I miss my ex husband, he was my best friend. Shouldn't I be mad? I was sober when I met him save for special occaisions I would have a glass of wine. I remember one of our first dates I bought one beer and we shared it. He thought that was cute. He already had a drinking problem, I just didn't know. We dated, met for drinks, played pool I thought it was just normal. I want to blame him so I feel mad instead of sad. But I can't! Dealing with sad without a drink to take off the edge is hard! When will be sad and lonely end. When will I understand why this all happened to me?

You need to take a chill pills and understand that everything will be alright. The chill pill could be something you think in your mind with your little voice playing in your head telling you everything will be fine and you should move on from the past and it’s memories of you want a better life.

Agreed, the break up is fresh, 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping I can get to a calmer headspace soon.

Sobriety is a narrow lane.

You will definitely get to a calmer headspace for sure. Just apply your chill pills like I told you.

:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: that made me laugh for whatever reason.

You have taken one step ahead

Loss in recovery is difficult. You don’t have the escape that you’re used to. Be gentle with yourself. One day at a time, your healing will come. You’re not alone.
