How did you deal with heartbreak sober?

Hello all.

As the question says. I have been sober for about a month and I am going through a breakup with someone I loved so much and everything hurts so much I don’t think I can bear the grief.

My mind is screaming at me to go back to my old ways and drink and smoke until I can’t feel anything anymore. This is so hard and I don’t feel strong enough.

How did you do it?

Hello

I was 2 weeks into my sobriety and I broke it and I feel like shit physically and mentally. I drank and smoked to the point where i felt so awful I had to sleep it off cus i couldn’t bear the feeling anymore.

I know how my addictions affect me and I know they make my life worse. Yet everytime I think it will be different, I think this is the one that will take me where I need to go and make me feel how I want to feel.

The thing is before I went out and got drunk, I was fully aware of what I was doing and how it would affect me, I knew all of that and yet I still did it.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m tired and I don’t know if I can trust myself to look out for my best interest anymore. I don’t know what to do.

Hello all,

I have made significant progress of quitting weed and cigarettes for about two weeks. Yesterday after a fight with my bf I shut down emotionally and all I wanted was a cigarette so I smoked 4. I knew that I had made a decision to quit smoking but in the moment it almost felt like a system override because I didn’t care about my quit anymore, I just wanted a cigarette so bad. I feel ashamed, it’s the morning after and I will not smoke anymore. But how can I come to a point where it’s not my default any time I am in an emotional state? Thank you.
