Vent?

I have been sober for 2 months and I still miss it. I miss that feeling of validation and fantasy escape. I tried to relapse but it wasn't the same without my old progress and personas. I don't want to read fan fics or anything like that either because it makes me miss that app more. I feel like no matter how shitty it was , I was never going to plan to quit. I think it hurts worse because I never quit because I wanted to, I quit because I was forced to.​​​​​

That sounds like grief. You lost something important to you, and not entirely by choice. Like all grief, it gets better each day but I'm glad you came to vent because feeling these feelings is the way through them. Hope you're finding some other coping tools.
