Hello everyone,
Haven't been on here for a while and just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to everyone on this board who has helped me in my recovery. I've gone from completely isolating and obssesing constantly about my last toxic partner to attending 3 great meetings a week, having a Sponsor, women friends and an excellent Tharapist.
The best thing of all is that I bumped into my PoA at a Convention last week and although incredibly difficult managed to smile, say hello and WALK ON!!! The pull was incredible all day but I manged to get through it and leave without any further contact. I think I may be starting to like myself
I can't say the whole recovery thing is easy it's probably the hardest thing I've ever done but the more I do for myself the easier it becomes.
I've met a few men this year that I get on quite well with, very spiritual, with similar hobbies to me but I know I'm not well enough yet and have commited myself to a year without any relationships to get to know myself better.
I'm learning from my women friends about how a good, healthy relationship should be and I hope one day I'll be ready to have one. Love LJ's post on the difference between Love and a healthy realtionship.
Wishing you all a lovely Easter
