My long term relationship of 8 years recently ended. I needed to leave someone I love(d) very much. My heart is crushed and I have to remind myself to breathe. In these moments I’m very grateful for sobriety. I just want to feel whole and at peace again in my heart too.

Only cure I know for that is time. Hang in there
8 years is a long time. Regardless of the circumstances of how it ended, I know it hurts. Process your feelings and grow from this experience. Often times the universe pushes us to grow. This just might be your time. Stay sober and take the time to get to know your single self. There’s always a silver lining in our darkest days. You may not see it now, but if you stay sober I bet you will see it soon enough. Feel better

Oof, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find some comfort soon. Hopefully you feel the love coming from everyone on Loosid. Whenever you need there's always going to be somebody here for support. And I mean always. I have yet to find a single day where support isn't immediately at my fingertips.
You really value your sobriety and recovery journey. Well done. Sorry you had to make a decision that is causing so much heartbreak. Recovery work will help you cope with the pain you’re enduring.
It will get better in time. I'm sorry dude 
that's a long time to share with someone.. stay strong. It will get better.
I completely understand. I went through a divorce sober. It was complete agony. Lost the love of my life because of my alcoholism, my alcoholic behaviors. Today I can love her from afar. I pray for her heal. I pray for her forgiveness. Treat yourself to a round of steps. You’ll feel amazed before you are half way through.
