Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are.

Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Hi friends ... I was sitting here tonight wishing I had a "sponsor" like 12-step programs do; someone to call when I'm tempted to fall off the wagon and call my spouse. My husband is definitely the destructive substance I am trying to rid from my system (I actually think quitting heroin would be easier and less painful). --Besides this great support community, have any of you gone to groups that were comforting or inspiring while you are going through the divorce/break-up valley of ca-ca? IS there a 12-step program for break-ups? :-)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I went for 3 years during my 27 month long divorce and it was a big help. I made some good friends. I have been skipping some this past summer because I want to move past dwelling on my divorce.
Also i went to an 8 week divorce workshop at a catholic church early in my divorce that helped stabalize me and helped me accept the fact that the divorce was happening.
Also i went to some catholic singles game nights to see how the other half lived though i did not date and have yet to date anyone else.
I did not have the benifit of the computer or internet during divorce. It would have been a good help. This site and divorcesource chat would have been a big help.
I prayed a lot during my divorce and read what i could from the bible. God was my greatest comfort and still is.
I went to al anon for family members of alcoholics also. My ex was a 24/7 drunk.
There is a lot of support out there if you look. I would not depend on just one thing. Getting around others with similar problems is a good thing.
