...See more I just came back to 7 cups after a few years of flying solo. I was doing reasonably well, not drinking everyday, but the last month or so I've steadily increased back to drinking every other or every third day. I always drink til drunk but know my limit is about 4 drinks. I know what the trigger was and I suppose that's why I came back. I'm not sure how to deal with the triggers more effectively and I resort to numbing. There's not a problem that alcohol can't make worse.  I'm trying today.

...See more 2 years ago, in March, I left a 20 year relationship with a man. I'm now 45, have a 17 year old who is developmentally disabled, have had to move 2 times (apartment flood), changed jobs, may have to change jobs again, and the list goes on. I started dating a man last March and we seemed to be getting on well. I had a family crisis in Janusary, he had a family crisis in February, and we (Ithought) were supporting each other through these very hard months. We both deal with depression and anxiety. In early April, he suddenly told me he didn't feel like he thought he should after being together for a year, and won't talk to me at all any more. I'm confused, and sad, and I feel really just abandoned when things have been this hard. Maybe it's better that he just left rather than stay with someone who he doesn't love. I just feel so disappointed. How could I not see this coming?
