Hey Joe

No slaps here, just a big hug.

"Don't mourn for the people in your past. There's a reason they haven't made it into your future"

Take care, and I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Have you thought about going to AA meetings, to get around people and support for your sobriety? Might be a good distraction for you.

Try to be happy about your success.

Hey Joe
I hope you are feeling better. I know the pain of broken long term relationships and believe me you will heal. You have done amazingly well. Sending you strength from New Hampshire.

The good news, Joe, is that you still have your sense of Humor!!

You have been through, are going through, a lot of emotional turnoil.

If you can muster the energy, get out & do something. Go see an Action movie (not a romantic one!).

I know it's almost obnoxious to say, but Time does heal!!

You should be SO proud of yourself for your 68 (or more now) days! Focus on that. Just don't get too sore patting yourself on back...

Joe, you are a very strong person. What you have done by going 68 days sober takes a TREMENDOUS amount of strength. More so than most people have. So, hang in there buddy. I know how you feel. Almost 20 years ago my fiance' at the time broke it off with me and I just couldn't handle the pain; that is when I began drinking (the first time).

Time WILL heal all of those wounds that were opened up by her heartlessness. Trust me. Hang in there Joe, you've a LOT to be proud of.

Hey Joe,
I am piping up with my 'do not drink' too. Yeah, yeah, easy for me to say I know, but from my point of view (just over 2 weeks sobriety), I know if I got to 68 days there is no way in hell I would go back to drinking. Go find a boxing club or something and beat the crap out of a punchbag....or your couch or even your pillows. Picture the punchbag/pillows as the booze and tell yourself 'I will beat you...you aint gonna win!'.
Beat that sucker till its black and blue!! Then get yourself back on line and tell us all how well you are doing and how you are now at seventy...plus days!
Look forward to hearing from you.

Joe

If it helps my ex wants to file a harassment case over a text argument - all about the fact he's married, where I threaten to tell his wife.

Things may seem bad but they really aren't. As long as you are OK and not drinking that's all that matters.

hi joe, I was like that in jan,broken heart,broken life and trying to stop drinking,it was terrible,but as has been said you have to start getting busy with yourself mentally & physically.there is such a thing as appropriate anger,anger that actually works to further a situation and resolve feelings,Your problem could be repressed anger & rage,I kept myself from feeling so much of my anger in the past that it stored up inside me,and waited for opportunities to leak out in tiny ways or to blast out in an uncontrolled fury.You need to recognise and own the anger that you carry and look for therapeutic situations in which you can dump it once & for all,when you get rid of it this way the deep reservoir of pain and lack of safety that you feel will be released. .......It is not irritating to be where one is.it is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else.
