I'm leaving in a few hours for a mini vacation to the beach with my girlfriends. We've taken this trip every year for the past 6 years and every year I've thought to myself "I can't believe I'm here again and nothing has changed." Tomorrow is the "anniversary" of the start of the physical part of my A - 8 years ago. I know there will be triggers while I'm away. I'll pass the same gazebo where I sat and talked to him while on my run, etc. But this year I will say to myself "I'm so happy I'm here and I've changed." I've learned so much over the past 8 months from all of you on eas. It's been a hectic few weeks trying to get everything done before this trip (a joy of self employment), so I apologize for not being able to post as much as I'd like to. I've also felt the need to step back a little bit and take stock in where I am with my healing. I want all the newbies to know that no matter how you feel right now, no matter how much you hurt and think life is horrible, it's much better than living a lie. Stay in the present moment and choose how you will live your life. You are worth it :)
Have a wonderful, peaceful week everyone!

Thank you Bodhi.
What I love MOST about what you said, Bodhi
(Besides the fact that you get to getaway with your GFS!!! yay!!! Celebrate!)
Is that you would always return saying "everything's the same".
THIS YEAR?
EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT!
Oh what a difference a YEAR makes!
Staying in the present moment and choosing how I will live my life is excellent advice, Bodhi.
Hi Bodhi, hope you have a
