Well, I’m not newly single, but if i was, I’d try to spend as much time as I could with friends and family to distract myself. I wouldn’t drink too much since that is a depressant in itself, and would only make me feel worse in the long run. forestGeek, are you newly single? If so, I’m so sorry, but don’t forget, your fluther family is here for you also. Feel free to pm me anytime if you want to talk.
