Don't go there Babysteps. Read a few of your early posts. Remember the realistic horrible feelings. Don't blow yourself up by lighting that match - you've come WAY too far. You don't want to revert back to the "GO" space when you own Park Place and Boardwalk do you?? Remember "imustenjoypain"?? You aren't her anymore. Remember what I said about the "Bodhi" me helping me?? What would Babysteps do? She would get the heck out of the pool of gas!

Babysteps,

Joining Bodhi in saying step away from the flame. Adding my breath to help put out the match.

I know how you feel, and have been there for the last few days. All I do is read, read, read here. I even told you how one of your recent posts really helped me. I can't offer much, accept to say that I know it would not be worth restarting the clock of hurt. I cant imagine having to have LC with xAP, it would be impossible for me. Even conjuring an image of her face makes me weak in the knees. But I know you have strength, and you did right by coming here to get help in remembering that strength.

Thinking of you and hoping your day gets easier.
Peace---Foggy

RRRROOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!

Oh, for Chrissake, Babysteps! Quit it.
Grow up! You KNOW that nothing good can come from it, so just stop making "going back" an option that you can even consider. It's just OFF THE TABLE. got it?

Gripe, gripe, fuss, fuss--- now you've got me stressed out!! GD it.

;)
(Love you. don't be a dumb@ass.)

Sorry to be late to respond ... but check-in with us. How do you carry out the rest of your day? How are you feeling today? I always find it to be akin to a hangover. Fighting a day of wanting to break NC feels exhausting.


But ... how'd you do? What did you tell yourself to put that match down?


Please let us know.

Like a good little pyro, I put the match down and stepped out of the pool of gas.

Babysteps,

Hopefully nothing happened yet. Coming here shows that you ARE healing and don't want to go up in flames again. So, let's see....you are tempted because?

Yahoooo! I've said before that I have so much respect for those of you that have to face your XAP with LC. Enjoy your vacation :)

I guess we were cross posting, and when I saw Bodhi mentioning your vacation, I had to go back and see what I missed. ;-)


Bravo! I am very proud of you. You put down that crack pipe and walked away. Yah!! Enjoy your vacation and be kind to yourself, honey.


Peace and love,
