Thank you Sam. Basically I went a few years without drinking then started drinking again when my suspicions about my (now ex) became worse. I believed he was cheating. the drinking only got worse when I confronted him about it and he denied. We broke up around Christmas because I couldn't get over my suspicions and my drinking got worse and now I am a different person. So now I am without my ex and my friends are frustrated and don't want to pick up the phone anymore. It's hard to believe that they will be there but my ex said he would always be there and now is no longer. So now my friends say I will lose my job and continue to go downhill. I can't talk to them anymore.

I admire you Sam for making it through after a divorce. I don't know how you make it through that pain but it seems impossible. You are an example of someone who pushed through and has overcome. I just don't know if I have that strength
