Congrats go out to you, Gal. You have reached a major milestone in your healing journey, not to mention how strong and inspirational your posts have become; especially THIS one.

This is a positive and realistic way to view things, and "redirect the energy from the pain you feel to help you handle whatever you're facing" is sound advice. Keep those words of wisdom forthcoming. ;-)

I am very proud of you. You have made remarkable strides considering how long your A lasted.

((Hugs))

I know, the fact that it spanned 8 years sickens me. We certainly had periods of NC in there and times I thought it was really over. We never made it more than 8 months though so my true mark of success will be when I get to one year. The length of the A really scares me sometimes because I often wonder if I will really me strong enough to say no if he ever came calling. I suppose I resisted the fishing attempt at six weeks and that's something I was never able to do in the past. One missed call and I would come running back, ready to do a cannonball into the cesspool!

I guess only time can tell. My attitude and outlook has certainly changed for the better. 2010 will be a good year. Hopefully for all of us.
