I nodded my head in agreement with doggonecarl. I, however, think being without a GF for awhile might be rather refreashing for you. I also liked your idea about AA. I jump back and forth about going but I rarely go to one lately where I haven't walked out glad that I went. For me going to a meeting can only help vs. hurt. I'm also getting a lot out of seeing a therapist. Helps give a different perspective.
