I'm sorry you feel so low bananagrrrl but I'm so glad you came back here for support 
Break ups are hard but we can get through them sober and go onto the next good thing.
Its hard to gauge how serious you are when you say you want to die.
If there's any depth or persistence to that feeling, why not call a crisis line?

Breaking up is tough. Just done it myself about two weeks ago. I am a represser of emotions, I am afraid of them too...
You are not alone. Come and talk to us, spend some time here. If you are feeling shaky in recovery, you must defend it at all costs. Having the loss of the relationship lead to the loss of your sobriety ... that would be calamitous.

Grief and recovery from alcoholism are two completely different things. I had been sober many years when I lost my wife. I thought I was going nuts, so many overwhelming feelings. I talked to a grief counsellor and discovered this was all normal. Like that AA 10th step promise I was reacting sanely and normally, and it never occurred to me to pick up a drink.

Hi Bananagrrrl. I just wanted to post a few words of support, I know how you feel. I just ended a 9 year relationship and it’s like I’ve forgotten how to function.
Breakups are hard and I know it sucks, and it will continue to suck for a while... but I believe everything is gonna get better. You might discover a strength you thought you never had.
Congrats on your 3 years - wow that is an amazing achievement and you should be proud of yourself!
Wishing you all the best
