I’m so sorry for your loss. Stick around and read as much as you can here, there is an amazing amount of information and advice that can help you stay sober.
I’m not sure what your DOC is, but you can use the magnifying glass at the top of the forum to search for whatever help/information you might need.

Hi Livvy, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. My wife and I have been through lost pregnancies and it. is. heartbreaking.
But drinking will not help. It will not. (In fact, it will make everything worse.) You have to feel this emotion, fully, sober. (Edit to add: you are grieving. This is grief, it is heartbreaking, but it is part of being human, and it is natural and normal for you now.)
You know the expression “happiness shared is double happiness; sorrow shared is half sorrow”? That is true here. Find a group, and share your story. Share your pain. You will find what you need.
Of course there is us here at TS. There are also hundreds of recovery groups, in dozens of different approaches and styles:

It doesn’t really matter which type of group you choose, and you can experiment with different ones (every group feels different). What they all have in common is they connect you with people who understand going through pain, alone, and choosing instead to be sober, together.
