I never thought I would get to this point. 60 days ago I was a wreck, feeling like I would not get through this. But I did and all of you who are feeling hopeless and sad and hurt and angry, you will too! I feel stronger now than I did even when he who shall never be named again and I were together. As hard as it was in the beginning, having no contact was the best thing I ever could have done to get me thru. I can now see where I deserve more and have even started dating again.

I hope that this can serve as a little bit of inspiration for those of you in the early stages of your breakup. You do feel better and you get YOU back. So hang in there and hugs to all of you!

Good for you. I hit 60 days last week and it has helped. I still have those "days" but they are fewer. I've been keeping busy and have become a gym rat--I was in pretty good shape before but I always wanted to be more toned which I will be!

The one good thing about no contact is as hard as it is it does put you in a power position. These men all expect us to come crying and doing the usual begging after they break-up and I think my ex thought I would do the same but I haven't. That alone makes me feel stronger.
