If you balk at spending time and money on your own recovery because it seems wasteful, consider how much time and money you have spent trying to avoid the pain from either being in an unhappy relationship or from having it end.
Drinking using drugs, eating too much, taking trips to get away from it all, having to replace things ( either his or yours) that were broken in fits of anger, missing work, expressive long distance phone calls to him or to someone you hope will understand, buying yourself presents to cheer yourself up, spending days and nights crying over him, neglecting your health to the point where you get seriously ill-the list of of ways you have spent time and money because of loving too much is probaly long enough to make you very uncomfortable if you look at it honestly.
Recovery requires that you be willing to invest at least that much in getting well. And as an investment it is guarenteed to give you gratifying dividends. [/center]
