My Story
HEALING AFTER HEARTBREAK
I always thought I would enjoy my life without alcohol. I expected all the problems to vanish on their own. Everything was supposed to fall into place for me. Finally! But after 2 years without a drop, that was not the case. The celebration still hadn’t arrived, and the problems felt worse.
The relationship stress continued to grow. Nothing I tried seemed to make a difference. The emptiness I felt at times was suffocating. Falling into my new sober life somehow became the most difficult challenge I had ever faced, after already facing a difficult change.
My then partner said everything would be okay once I quit. He said I could have anything I wanted. But it didn’t go that way. The problems continued to come up no matter what I tried. Painful words came at me like swords, over and over again, to keep me small.
“You are crazy!”
“What is wrong with you?”
“You need to get help!”
My intentions were pure. This new person I bloomed into was not the same. Everything I did was misread at a time when I desperately needed to celebrate. Somehow, after putting in a tremendous amount of effort to quit drinking, my home life turned into a battlefield.
When the relationship finally ended, my morning routine was rejected. I was having problems sleeping, and started waking up too early. I decided to stop fighting it and use the time to read and learn new skills. I would find a quiet space in another room or outside, so I wouldn’t disturb his sleep. But even that created chaos.
One morning at 6 am, I made the mistake of opening the bedroom door too early. His dog stirred. He woke up and shouted, “Something is wrong with you!” “You are ruining my life!”
His words hit me like a brick that day. I’d heard them 100s of times before. But I finally saw the situation without the veil. I’d been in denial for 10 years. I was a chronic people pleaser. It was time to stop lying to myself. I took a bold leap of faith that day, packed all my belongings without a clue where I was going, and walked out the door.
It was one of the most difficult decisions that I have made, but the life lessons it taught me were worth the struggle. Letting go of alcohol and abusive partners wasn’t easy, but it has changed my life in ways I never imagined. Just as quickly as one door shut, another door opened.
