in recovery while walking on this new path, I have to keep myself reminding 'this too shall pass', and 'if i keep on doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, that is my insanity'. Those two really help right now. I miss him, the good times we had, and I'm resisting the surge to call or make contact.
But i am making my recovery the most important thing in my life. that allows me the thoughts of us and him, but stops me from going back there. I am taking care of me as if i was my own childwell I am , really!
just checking in and joining your path of recovery.
You sound great T.
I think we can forget just how bad it got and I know for me I can start romanticizing the past and the old it wasn't that bad creeps in. I try to be clear with a few things, It was bad, it was bad enough for it to end. I don't really like the person he is to be honest and my mind can play tricks on me, minimizing the situation.
These slogans are life savers, this too shall pass, everything always does. Looking at the past for our recovery is a good thing but be wary, those 'good times' in my experience were not that good for long.x
