    So, I broke up with my gf about a month ago and she used to turn me on big time and would always respond to my sexual insinuations (to the extent that it led me to relapse several times) but the thing is, that I started working at a new place just a couple of weeks ago and there happens to be a girl that looks A LOT like her (but slightly hotter and better shaped); she obviously caught my attention from day one but turns that she's already dating a supervisor from my same department.

    The reason why I'm asking for advice is not that I can't take the fact that I will never stand a chance with her (because of her being already taken and me still a socially-anxious addict) but actually because like I said before, she reminds me a lot of my exgf and so I often surprise myself fantasizing about her and/or replacing my exgf for her in my memories/fantasies, thus I feel like I'm edging most of times I see her.

    I wanna stop staring at her whenever we come across, namely, because I believe she's starting to notice and feel uncomfortable around me and not only do I want to avoid it along with all the problems it could bring me but moreover, I don't wanna end up arguing/fighting over a girl who isn't and will never be mine.

    I'm currently on the 14th day of my streak and all the while I still have a hard time coping with both big time mood swings throughout the day, and also not being able to socialize with my fellow workmates which also reduces the chances of me finding a new gf/significant other anytime soon, any ideas on how to put my shit together to begin with?

    P.S. I tried and posted this on Reddit but nobody seemed to mind me at all, hope I can get some tips in here instead
