stressed out :(

jj · MIP Old Timer

so sorry to hear this. for now, just think of keeping yourself healthy. do you have someone to call? an AA friend or sponsor would be really good.... or go to a meeting. getting out of your head for awhile will help settle your tummy.
hugs and prayers.

Yes I also will pray for you.I hope you have people in recovery/sponsor etc to share your pain with.Glad you came here, at least to releive some of the emotions. No matter what ,just don't drink that will amplify 100% all the trauma.Our literature tells us we will go through,death,failing relationships,and many other life on lifes terms situatiions.Don't let the monster in....Stay close and let us know how its going....Give this to the God of your understanding and pray for strength..In support

I can't add any advice to what the others have said, but just wanted to send you a hug.

Take care of yourself, and lean on your program, your Higher Power, and your support system. You can get through whatever happens.

look at your fear, what exactly are you afraid of? If it's being alone your never alone in the program. Ask your higher power for the wisdom and strength to deal with this, take a deep breath or 10 and try and relax. I'll pray for you too. Take care and don't drink.

I just wanted to send hugs. I have been through the same thing and understand your terror and pain. But it will get better (without drinking). I am three years out and so much happier now. My life is great but it's one I never even could have imagined when my ex and I were together. It's so scary, you are in the worst of it now, but just keep trying to remember that these feelings will pass.

My Prayers are with you

I WILL NOT FEAR

Lord, God, I have no idea where I am going.

I do not see the road ahead of me.

I can not know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I
think I am following your Will does not mean that
I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please You does in
fact please You, and I hope that I have that desire
in all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything apart from
that desire.

And I know that if I do this You will lead me by
the right road though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I trust You always, though I may seem
lost in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for You are with me, and never will
leave me to face my perils alone

(Thoughts In Solitude - Thomas Merton)

Nice Larry. Slugcat, I'm so sorry. Stay close to the fellowship and us here. You'll get through it.
Acceptance is key in these situation. I remember well getting divorced and sober at the same time. I had zero acceptance and it hurt until I found it.
