Before I go, can someone tell me what the benefits of journalling are? Does it help with the pain?

Journaling will help you get out a lot of anger, confusion, what you would like to say to her but never will, and will especially help with those obsessive thoughts. Someday you will go back and read stuff that will have you shaking your head. How you feel now and how you will feel 6 months from now will have you wondering if aliens had held your heart and brain captive. ;-)


Journaling will allow you to see yourself in a whole new light by the time your journey wraps up. I looked back at what I wrote 3 years after the fact, and became literally nauseous over how needy, pathetic, and desperate I was back then. Had me a nice bonfire and watched all that BS go up in soaring flames. Can't tell you how liberating that was. ;-)


I hope we will see you back here soon. The door will always be open Robspierre, and I wish for you determination and strength to do the right thing.


((Hugs))

May good luck follow you until we meet again.

We only miss what could have been.

We only miss what could have been. I know I don't miss what it really was.

There's a saying in AA "I didn't know I didn't know" and it's a little tough to grog intially, but I think it means that sometimes we don't even know we are in trouble, how our life style is affecting us and others, that we suffer from an addiction, that we even need help or that there is help out there.


By coming here, you have been awakened to the harm you are causing yourself and others.
