Today on a fluke I ended up at Wallyworld to pick up some printer ink. I don't like Wallyworld, but it was close, so I chose to go in. In the parking lot was the last POA...K...who shattered my heart a couple of years ago. He saw me, smiled and waved....I looked at him, turned, and went into Wallyworld. I did get a chill, but thought, what an not a very nice person.
I suppose when I see him and think, what a blessed child of God, I'll have better recovery, but for now, not a very nice person will suffice.

Wow, that's great! I hope to be in this position one day! Happy to hear that it wasn't a triggering event for you, didn't make you sad or didn't start that awful cycle of obsessing. There is hope for us all! :-)
I have a couple x-POAs that I see now. One is a very dear friend. I NEVER think of her obsessively like I did when I was younger (20 yrs ago, when we first met in college). I don't know what changed and made her a "normal person" to me, but I'm hoping that eventually happens with this current POA.

That's interesting about seeing an x-poa and not feeling anything... I was just thinking yesterday about an x-poa from several years ago and how we are friends now...he is like a brother to me. But I was thinking, if I allow myself to start thinking about him again in "that" way, I might go back to being obsessed with him....so controlling our thoughts is very important!

i hope that i can be in that same state of mind eventually. I haven't ran into my POA in a while, but I know I am seeing him next week. I am hoping and praying I can be strong enough to control the obsessive thoughts.
