Woodtick...
Welcome! I'm in the same boat as you. My wife of 15 years filed for a divorce in June and we are now separated. I can really relate to what you are saying and I know that the loss of her can kick up the urge to get high, since you are only a week into it. This is a very, very hard time. Thankfully, you found the right place.
Like Juls told me once, loneliness is not a bad thing. It is a normal reaction to a situation. I feel lonely, but it has forced me to start changing for the better. As an addict, I am finally confronting things that I never thought of in my 40 years of existence on this planet.
This forum is a blessing for me. I also belong to another forum which addressed another addiction of mine, which led directly to my separation and I also am going to NA meetings.
There are terrific people here that give suggestions that work. I hope that you stay here for the support that you will get from them. When I first signed up here, I wasn't going to NA meetings, addressing my sexual addiction, or doing anything to get better. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but you will reeceive support here. Hang in there, my friend. You're not alone.
