Name change...

hi everyone!

I haven't been on this board too terribly long, but in case you guys wonder why I disappear after today....I am changing my screen name today. I don't want to have any reference to my XMM in my name -- I don't want my identity tied to the past or to something that wasn't a good thing for me!

When I first found this board I felt like I needed a name that expressed my new found freedom from the A. But, time to move forward. In a little while you will see my posts as:

meg_at_peace


Sorry to bother y'all with something so trivial but I didn't want to disappear without a trace :-)

I think this is a powerful step in your recovery process. You are laying claim to your NEW, powerful, free self, no longer dependent on the addiction of an affair. I'm proud of you!

I did the same thing, but it took me about 6 mos. to get there. I was "fool4love" when I started posting here in 11/02 until almost a year later and 6 mos. after I ended the A. I realized I wasn't a fool for love anymore - I was a fool no more!!

Hey Girl! Thanks for the heads up and NOTHING written on here is ever considered trivial. What's funny, is that I wasn't able to read the posts yesterday, so this morning I just started from the top, as usual. I saw the name Meg_at_Peace, and wondered who was this wise woman with the great responses and how does she seem to know everyone? I wondered if there had been a name change and then I got to this post. <<>> There you BE!! :)

You are a great asset to this board and a terrific example of "I did it, so can you!" Glad to have you aboard and most certainly hope you stick around. I am 4 months out of my afair, but I still work with him, so I NEED to come here to recharge my batteries almost on a daily basis. Missed my fix yesterday....but being BUSY at work keeps the "Boss at bay" too, so I for the first time in years I am not complaining about my workload :)

It's amazing what a difference having a new name makes to me!
