User Submitted Advice from a 21-30 year old Female Sobriety cures jealousness Hi. I just had to respond because I too was just beating myself up for becoming a crazed jealous girlfriend. I actually hit my boyfriend too the other night. I am SO ASHAMED of my behavior. I was never that kind of person. I actually broke up with someone for being like that and now I AM LIKE THAT. Ugh....I really need some help trying to overcome this. I too do not want to lose my boyfriend over something low like that. I found what works is to stay sober for one - that way the mantras really do work. I just take a deeeeep breath and talk myself through everything mentally and after a few minutes, I am good to go. Add a few Jack and Cokes though and I start seeing normal things as flirtacious and I get angry. So for me - it's sobreity for a while because the alternative is triggers something bad.
