Thank you Kate. It's day 2! Still feeling the effects of Fridays binge but overall much better. No longer plastered to the floor, moving about and just made a big mug of tea. Todays a beautiful day!

Steam cleaner is a pretty cheap rental from your local big-box hardware store.

I dealt with ending of a long-term relationship in my early sobriety. It's tempting to fall into the trap of feeling sorry for yourself. Resist. Sad-sacking around is risky for sobriety.

Instead I looked at it as an opportunity -- one more place to see improvement. Maybe even trade up? And honestly, if my relationship had been going great, it'd still be going. She and I are probably better off this way. Maybe you will be better off, too? The way this fella left, it doesn't sound like how a cool person would handle things, you know?

Best of luck. Keep an even keel if you can.

Wow! Break ups can be so hard, and I really commend you for staying focused on your sobriety as you experience the intense waves of emotion that come with a loss like this. After reading about his behaviour as he left, I can't help but think this situation is a blessing in disguise. You deserve someone better than that. Right now is a time to focus on yourself and building a new and better life. You are off to a great start. Please keep posting, we care! (((hugs)))
