The rosary helps me a lot too to settle down when I get into an intense situation.
Immersing myself in my religion has been a HUGE help for me in getting through the last rejection and working my recovery.
The Catholic faith and the twelve steps are very similar, just substitute "salvation" for "recovery".
I use confession a lot for my inventory steps.
I try to transfer all that "love" unto Jesus instead of some guy.
And I hold tight to the Catholic morals and teachings around sexuality to help guide me if another potential partner should come along.

I'm Catholic too. The mystery of faith. Oddly, no matter where I go, without seeking it out, I will find other Catholics are there in my support system in ways that truly lift me.
Recently I was invited to a meditation group only to find afterward that they are almost all Catholic. It gives me some peace to find that you are here too.

Deepening my prayer life has helped me too. I go to church, but I do work the 12 steps. I attend both AA and Al-anon. Thank God for it all.
