Sorry to hear you are sad. I've often wondered why sadness even exists - probably to give us a contrast to truly appreciate joy and love, who knows. Not much advice to add because I've succumbed so many times to that urge. The only thing for sure is that we're less of a person the next day if we choose to run from feelings by drinking. Not that you can't be great again, but immediately after....we are lesser. So do we step back to not feel the pain / or to feel it more, or do we step forward and into the future which is open? For today at least, I'll step forward.
