Hi GG. I was stuck in nostalgia land many times in the first few months. Back then I looked at quitting as giving something up, not gaining something. I was so sorry for myself and resentful. Those feelings do pass & you won't be stuck there forever, I promise.

This is a very good question you're asking - about the old habits being hard to break. Alcohol was my constant companion in the end, & when we broke up it was like getting over a bad love affair. I hope others will have suggestions on how to stomp out those thoughts you're having. I just kept going until the bad feelings faded into nothing, but I'm sure there are things you could do to change your routine & avoid triggers.

Sorry to hear you've been having a rough go of it lately. It is part of the process, as you said, and it does ease up. Every day brings you closer to the happy, healthy life you want for yourself. Even if you aren't aware of the progress, it's there. I'm glad you came here to talk about your feelings.
