I've realized that a lot of this comes to fruition from self-blame.
Regarding the relationship, it was 50/50. She was as accountable as I was. For the last few weeks I've been blaming myself which isn't entirely true.
I'm still trying to find a way to deal with my anxiety/depression. In the past, I would just take a drink to nix it. Now that I am facing these feelings, it is very difficult.
Thank you for the support.

Hi Fb? Congrats on a month & counting! Just like you I lost everything & had to move to another state coz my brother lives here. Was scared @ first leaving home group, sponsor & guys that had helped me but I just took a step of faith. Don't let fear keep you in same spot coz recovery is same no matter where I go, just done bit differently
Best wishes man

Hi flashback. I'm so glad you found us and wanted to talk about your situation. You are never alone - and we've all been there.
At 29 I wasn't ready to admit I couldn't drink ever again. I insisted I could use willpower to control what I drank. I went on for many more years & ended up drinking all day in the end - completely dependent on it to get through the day. You are leaving that sick life behind. Please don't let guilt & regret hold you down. You're free - and life will be good again.

Welcome FB,
Welcome to the biggest club nobody wanted to join. It appears you are very self aware. When pondering/reliving your past, look at it as objective as you can. This way you can see your part in the good and bad to learn from it. If you can, forgive your ex for her part as you would want her to forgive you. Also, if your depression continues go see a therapist they can help tremendously.
