RelapseВ вЂ“ Long before you actually take that drink or drug or pick up the phone and actually call your lost loved one relapse can occur.Furthermore when you bargain, you donвЂ™t take responsibility for why the relationship does not work, which may give you the illusion that you have control over it, perpetuating the myth that it is somehow salvageable.

Reality inevitability crashes down on you. Bargaining can only briefly distract from the experience of loss.

Bargaining вЂ“ Try as you might you might bargain, if only I did this or that maybe the relationship wouldnвЂ™t end But the truth is both you and the drugs contributed to the end, just in the same manner when you have a breakup both parties contributed to the end.

You postpone your need to grieve because it is just too painful to face You fought to hold on to the relationship for way too long even when you knew that it was coming.

Denial вЂ“ This canвЂ™t be true, it really is not happening.In not imagining you can give up this partner in the same way you have difficulty giving up a person, you may postpone grieving with the unrealistic notion (maybe we can get back together again - in the case of AOD maybe one drink wonвЂ™t hurt me). Afterall you put everything into the relationship and it has been your whole life. In the beginning you cant imagine living without your ex. You want to make send of what happened an dto that end may make you debate what friends, families, co-workers saw so clearly about why the relationship ended. You may fixate on things that happened and have contradictory ideas about what was good or what was bad about the relationship and you may swing back and forth between foggy disbelief and flashes of clarity that this relationship is over. In the beginning you are desperate for answers. Here are some of the stages one can anticipate going through when one breaks up with addition and or a girlfriend, boyfriend etc No doubt you knew somewhere that this breakup was coming on for months or years and yet when it finally happened you felt blindsided, overwhelmed and immobilized.Like a lover who went astray this can be a brutal process and it takes time to reshape your life. The moment you stop texting your drug dealer or the folks you were using with you are hit relentlessly with the brutality of the loss. You have gone from, вЂњDonвЂ™t leaveвЂќ to Okay, I will give up. Still it is becoming clear that you are not going to make t unless you give it up. Even if the relationship was awful and you had all kinds of negative consequences the thought of living without it is unacceptable. In many ways like breaking up with a partner you do not want to believe the love affair is ending. Think about how hard your loved one or you fought to hold onto their relationship with AOD to the point of being all consumed.LetвЂ™s backup and look at how hard a breakup with addiction, like a breakup with a romantic partner, is. No wonder breaking up is hard to do, whether itвЂ™s giving up onesвЂ™ attachment with a romantic partner that is not helpful or a substance.
