DIVORCE, not divorse. Time is your best way to move on. I drank as much as I could for 2 years and had a ball, no trouble but that's not for everyone. Mine too was sudden. Here today, gone tomorrow. I changed cities, got a better job and have never been back there. Don't stay where she is. AVoid contact of any kind. Don't go where you used to. Change your numbersm and address etc. Disappear in other words. It can tak a long time, particularly given the shock. I was told people who do that use the last period with us to confort themselves and get over us. So we help them through the hard times.

Definitely try to find yourself. Try to plan one to two things on your off times/days from work to take away from wandering thoughts that tend to linger on what was comfortable in the past. be open to making friends and slowly heal. don't rush. When we rush is when we tend to head towards the past.

You take time to heal yourself first. Spend time with yourself. Do things that you couldn't do when you were married. Write in a journal. Then get a make over. Get a massage, a new haircut, a few new clothes. Get outside and spend some time in fresh air. Start volunteering at different organizations to meet different people. Join a few places that you like and become active on their boards. Pick things that are single oriented until you feel better about being around couples. Be patient with yourself. It takes time to start a new life after divorce.

I'd encourage you to develop your personal interests, check into hobby groups, hiking groups, reading groups. I assume you are interested in creating a web of friendship, rather than just looking for a new lover. I find it easiest to get to know new people when we share an interest, whether it's training dogs or gardening or spirituality.
