You came into my life when I least expected it, but needed it the most. You showed me true love. I hadn’t felt true love in the 7 years I was with the last guy but I felt it with you. It was perfect bliss. Then the drugs took over, instead of using my love to console you, you turned to something stronger to ease the pain I knew nothing about. The perfect man in all his flaws who I loved with my whole heart turned on me.
You’re gone now and I don’t know how to let go of the old you. I know you’re not there anymore but no matter how much I tell myself that I can’t seem to let go. You’ve shut me out completely and now I have no choice. All I was trying to do was help and naturally you pushed me away.
How do I heal a broken heart? Someone please tell me. Do I need something stronger? We have all the same friends, we go to all the same places, I can’t go or do anything without being reminded of him. —Finding it hard to function these days

Time will heal your wounds, poster. I’m very sorry you’re going thru such heartbreak. Be strong. It will get better.
Take my word for it. Sometimes a difficult road leads to a far better place. You just don’t know it yet …. …
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Dollars to doughnuts he was using drugs before you found out but kept it hidden from you. It may help to keep in mind that the person you fell in love with was the illusion he presented you with. It was only with time that you came to know the real person. This is not uncommon. Most people present the best version of themselves to others when they are trying to make a good impression.
aweeeee, maybe set your standards a bit higher. or just die of a broken heart.
Yes, you do need something stronger, OB. Drugs… And lots of em!
Make something, do something for someone else, get moving. This is the road to happiness…find the person you enjoy being with even when doing the crappiest job, and that is the person for you. If all else fails, clean the house and reward yourself. These could change your life. If you are feeling suicidal, reach out immediately. It is no joke, and the people who help suicidal people are very good at what they do…you just have to give them a chance. Good luck, and I have sooo been there.
