I needed a place to pet and affirm my tiny step forward. So I created this place. I am only a newbie, and working on step one, but I wanted to make a place where anyone could post a self-affirmation and others could give high fives. So if you have done something great(maintained NC for another day, achieved a personal goal, made spiritual growth you want to share, or maybe just got out of bed when your depression was so bad you didn't think you could) share.

MizTex,
Oh wow, didn't see this earlier. Just found in past 100 posts list, nifty lil gadget. We often build on what we did to ourselves that was hurtful & it grows. I like this idea, it helps to build & grow on what we were able to do that was good for us.
Today I noticed my phone is now a tool to talk with people in my life...it is no longer a clenched in my hand, obsessively looked at, compulsively used connection to false hope. This is major, I could NOT be without my phone for a minute, it was 100% related to my addiction.
I am healing.
Congrats on your 15 days!!
Thanks for the thread!

Thanks. glad you like the idea. I know what you mean about the phone. But my hook was the computer. He cut me off of that months ago when he said his computer was broken. At first I argued that he could still email me once and a while using another one, but after not checking emails 50 times a day and feeling depressed when there was no message, I realized I LIKED no emails! I also think it helped me to detach from him finally, since the only other communication with him was me calling him. Now I have stopped that. I figure he is kinda naive so will figure it out eventually but is probably not aware yet.
Meanwhile, I am moving away. By the time he figures it out, I hope to be long gone.

Miztex, we've the same no of days NC! Let's make it a competition and then neither of us will want to lose.  Well done though. Really well done. I've managed about three months before without talking to him so I'd like to prove to myself that I can get past that. I feel bad talking about him like that but I don't know how to relate to him without losing my mind so hey-ho. |
