8 Months NC!!

Hello Ladies!! I am making my monthly report and am happy to say that I am now officially 8 months NC!! It's a wonderful feeling and I'm finally feeling like I'm getting to the point where I just don't know him anymore. This is the longest we've ever gone NC. All the other times, I think that we never got to the point where we didn't know each other anymore, if that makes any sense. Now, I feel like it's been such a good length of time, that he may have moved on (he's single), and God knows I'm doing my best to put him out of my mind. I find myself having more and more days where I hardly think of him. I've completely thrown myself into work and my family and my marriage and it's really paid off. I feel like my relationships with my DH and my kids are a lot better because I'm fully present in their lives. Plus, it's great to not have to make sure I have my phone on me at all times, or wait for the next call or text. I can just LIVE!

I've officially taken a break from the Board because, while I love you all dearly, coming here every day to read the posts just kept my mind in the A and wasn't allowing me to move forward. I decided, though, that I would come here every month to post my success with the hope that it will be an inspiration to someone out there who feels like they'll never get to this point. You CAN and you WILL. You just have to be ready.

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful start of summer!!

xoxo,
Gal

Way to go, Gal!!!
This is exactly what I needed to hear today! The board has been a bit of a downer lately and your inspirational post is just the ticket to getting us all back on the right track!

Love to hear that you and your family are thriving and well.

Rock on,
Dee

Wow you are racking up the NC months! Congrats!!! I think the next step is Tweener Extraordinaire! Dang…soon you will be joining us old fogies as a vet!


Thanks for coming back and posting you success. It warms my heart to read success stories and I’m sure it encourages others who are struggling knowing people make it through this mess to the other side!


Onward and upward!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!

What a truly amazing and uplifting post! Thank you so much. I needed the boost and the inspiration.

Eight months seems like an eternity to me...but like anything else I keep reminding myself it's one step, one minute, one day at a time.

I am so proud of you. xoxo

I'm proud of your Gal, just a little disappointed that you will only be popping in once a month. This board is starving for Vets, now that so many have left. Oh well...To those of you who do stick around, thank you so much. It is greatly appreciated.


Hope life continues to be all that you want it to be, GLFC. You are really quite marvelous. ;-)


((Hugs))

Thanks to all for the great responses. I'm so glad that my success can be an inspiration to everyone on their journey. NS, I am DEFINITELY holding a place for you in Super Tweenerville - the weather here is quite lovely this time of year! :)

As for my absence from the Board - I will certainly continue to stop by when I can, it's just that I feel like I'm at a certain phase in my healing where constantly thinking about the A only holds me back. I think that feeling will pass and eventually I'll be able to come around more often.

((HUGS)) to all!
