[Math] A completely regular topological space which is $T_0$ but not $T_1$

examples-counterexamplesgeneral-topologyseparation-axioms

The question pretty much says it all. I need a completely regular (the definition not requiring $T_1$) topological space which is $T_0$ but not $T_1$. I've sifted through Counterexamples in Topology but I just can't find one. I've also tried google and searching this site but I'm not coming up with anything.

It seems the counterexample should be simple but everything I try doesn't work (like Sierpinski topology, open extension topology, topology on $\mathbb{R}$ whose open sets are $(a,+\infty)$, etc.).

EDIT: By a completely regular topological space I mean a topological space $(X,\tau)$ so that for every $x\in X$ and closed $\mathscr{C}\subseteq X$ such that $x\not\in\mathscr{C}$ there exists a continuous
function $f:X\to[0,1]$ so that $f(x)=0$ and $f(\mathscr{C})=\{1\}$.

By a $T_0$ space I mean a topological space in which any two distinct points are topologically distinguishable.

By a $T_1$ space I mean a space in which for any two distinct points
both of them are contained in neighborhoods which do not contain the other.

I was thinking completely regular + $T_0$ did not imply $T_1$ since the definitions of Tychonoff/$T_{3\frac{1}{2}}$ spaces I've seen require completely regular and $T_1$ rather than completely regular and $T_0$.

EDIT EDIT: Turns out no such counterexample exists.

If $X$ is completely regular (closed set and point can be separated by a continuous real-valued function), then it is also regular. Let $x\in X$ be a point and $A\subset X$ be a closed set not containing $x$, then there is a continuous function $f:X\to\Bbb R$ with $f(x)=0$, $f(A)=1$, so $f^{-1}([0,\frac12))$ and $f^{-1}((\frac12,1])$ are disjoint open neighborhoods of $x$ and $A$, respectively.

To show that a regular $T_0$-space $X$ is $T_2$, let $x,y\in X$. There is a closed set $A$ containing one point, say $y$, but not the other. By regularity, there are disjoint open sets $U\ni x$ and $V\supseteq A\ni y$. So $X$ is Hausdorff.
