You have been thinking seriously about breaking up with her, admittedly because the relationship is not healthy anyway...and yet you feel "abandoned" because she said so first?
She has seen the damage addiction does to a family, a partner, anyone who loves an actively addicted person. If she were my daughter I would tell her to run for the hills.
My son is an active addict, has been for many years, and I have seen first hand the damage this does to everyone in his path.
That said, there is hope for any addict who wants to recover. There are many wonderful double winners right here, who worked hard to get clean and who continue to work hard every day to remain so. It means putting down ALL the drugs, not just one of them, and it is a lot of hard work. It is a good time to focus only on yourself and your recovery. Your life just may depend on it.
Perhaps take this break as a blessing, as an opportunity to work on your program and to focus on the important thing...your complete sobriety.
Hugs
