After 8 months sober I relapsed when my husband told me he wasn’t in love with me any more and wants a divorce. I was completely caught off gaurd by it. I relapsed immediately, just wanted to forget this was really happening. It took a good 2 months of drinking before I woke up and said to myself that this is actually happening, I have to get my head in the game real fast or I could see myself choosing the wrong path. The path that always terrified me, the hopeless drunk path I’ve watched many people in my life choose. Like literally I was at the crossroads and the devil was there waiting for me. So I have to be strong. I’m going to have to get a 2nd job to support myself in the most meager of houses. I have myself 2 dogs that I’ll have to find a rental for. I never followed a career path or continued my education because I felt cared for in my marriage. Now that’s all gone. I gotta get a move on people! And I can’t get a move on while being drunk. Now isn’t the time to lay down and give up.

I understand. Im sorry that you’re going through this. My divorce was absolutely horrible. My husband tells me drinking should be normal in my house and it’s just not. I start to believe it and then fall off the path and make real bad decisions. Day 1 again.
