So... I recently went through a rough breakup. It isn't the first one but for some reason hurts so much more than any other. I can't stop thinking about her, everything I hear or see seems to remind me of her in some way. I have been drowning myself in alcohol trying to forget if only for a few hours about her. Can I get some advice or suggestions on how to get over this??? And please be somewhat serious, I'm not really in a good mood to get ****ed with right now. Thank you

Step away from the alcohol is #1 IMO. It takes time, get out, do normal stuff - NOT stuff ya'll used to do together. Hang with friends, make new friends, there just isn't a magic answer - I so wish there was.

Give it time. use the alcohol, but dont let it use you.

Just time handsome. Keep yourself busy. While alcohol dulls the pain it comes back when you sober up. Work out, work, go out with friends. Time really does heal all wounds. Good luck and stay strong.

Put down the bottle, it only makes things worse. Then give yourself the opportunity to truly feel what you feel so you can then move on. Boozing it up only prolongs the inevitable and makes it harder in the long run.

reveling in the pain does feel good...but after a day or so it's on to bigger and better...and i'm sure most won't agree w/me but numbing out w/alcohol and or drugs helps the process along...good luck

#1...put down the bottle...that is not helping and your problem is still there when you sober up. I am so sorry you are hurting...but don't hurt yourself more by drowning your sorrows...this will only cause more harm. Seems in the midst of desperation, we tend to hurt ourselves during the healing process. Know that this will pass in time, keep yourself busy with things, other than drinking, find things to smile about, take a walk, clean your house, pet a dog...whatever it takes...spend time with family and friends, go to a movie, kick something.....hope you feel better soon

surround yourself with good friends take one day at a time time will heal

Sorry your feelin so bad CDizz but like a a few people are saying on here,knock the drink on the head.It will only magnify your problem and it will make you more depressed.Every break up is harder than the one before in my experience and everyone will have different ways of getting over things.Time is the great healer and I know how it feels to want your heart mending and quick.Just try and keep your mind busy on other things maybe try and get away for a break or visit friends.

Alcohol has a "pickling" effect, meaning that it preserves dead stuff to be examined.
So...examine it, and do what needs doing.
Have another drink, just for burning out the prior stuff, as long as you have a purpose for the burnout.
Then, get a dog, or volunteer at a homeless shelter, and see yourself through eyes that are grateful for your character.
Okay?

Get out of the house. Listen to Scoundrel... be grateful for what you have. Focus on that, rather than the negatives.
