  1. Day 38 Took me a moment to remember how many days have passed, haha! Always a good sign when you start to lose track of it. Things have been looking up thus far. Went home, hung out with some buddies and worked on my tan (which is coming along nicely). Met this girl who works at a Panera in my home town. She's pretty awesome. We had a great conversation with several laughs, and we are going to see a movie next week when I get back in town. I'll keep everyone posted
  2. I went through all 5 stages of bereavement before I found myself back to normal in my experience.
  3. I was born and raised Catholic, but I cannot say it was always easy. When I was little I believed and trusted entirely in him, but I believe that was because of the influence of my parents... As time progressed I started to distance myself from him, and what I noticed was that the further I walked away from him, the more disastrous my life became. Yet when I came back to him, things would return to normal, and be even better than before. It took me a long time to notice this. When I first met my ex, I was trusting in God. About 2 years and some months later though, I had pretty much completely walked away from him. I don't exactly know why I had, but I did. That's when things started to collapse. I honestly believe my breakup was God's way of waking me up again, because after I started coming back to God after my loss I felt incredibly renewed and at peace again. Things started to improve, and to this day things are still getting better. Fact is that everything good in my life has always been when I have trusted it to God, so I continue to believe, even through the hard times, because He has always provided for me. Sometimes I find it hard to believe when bad things happen to me, but when I look back in retrospect I realize that God did it for my better good. Note that this is coming from a guy who loves pure logic and science. Although I am sure others will feel inclined to disagree, I believe it is logical to believe He exists and He is helping us. Just look around -- What are the chances that the universe and everything around us was created by an accident? What are the chances of there being life on a planet? It just seems to make sense to me.
  4. Congratulations Dan!!! Welcome to the winners circle!
  5. *Smiles happily* I am glad you and your boyfriend have gotten back together! I love reading these success stories.
  6. Day 32 Been a very busy day! I've been running around dealing with registration for next semester. Got an excellent workout today -- Ran a mile, did some weight lifting for my legs (And I matched my exercise partners weight and all but 1 exercise!! I'm proud of myself! He doesn't look strong, but he really is.), and did about 30 minutes of racquet ball. Overall, I got a great workout, and I felt great afterwards. Today's been pretty awesome... 2 girls in my dorm that normally don't talk to me smiled at me and said "hi" today. Then there was a girl at the gym who kept staring at me while I was talking to my friend waiting for the leg press machine... Don't know if I'd want to jump into dating again yet, but man it makes me feel good.
  7. Lol, I like your idea kate111!! That's funny!
  8. Day 31 Just got back from church a little while ago. Had a nice talk with the priest there. Had to clear some things off my chest and get some answers. While I got the answer to one question I had, I only heard the same conclusions I had reached about my other questions. Which is frustrating, because the conclusions are so indefinite. Guess I'll just have to wait and see what God decides to throw my way.
  9. In a rather interesting turn of events, my father's friend is setting me up with a girl who lives back at my home town that he knows. She's going to turn 18 very soon. The timing is rather interesting... Right as soon as I hit day 30.... Not to mention the fact that her name is a name I've always had a crazy affinity towards. For some reason or another I've always pictured my ideal girl as having the name Rachel... That's the name of the girl they are trying to set me up with... Spooky. I seriously think the main upstairs (God) has got something planned for me. You'll be hearing from me after I meet her next weekend.
  10. Thanks Dan and Mac! I read your post on air drumming Dan, and I think that is awesome. Now that's something to emulate. Awesome. Mac, thanks! Hey I broke NC twice before I got it right. You won't find those posts here, because I started the NC approach before I even knew about the challenge, but let me tell you, the third time is a charm! Good luck on the new girl by the way! I wish you the best of luck, and I know you'll complete the NC challenge this time Just remember SuperDave is watching you... and he's got lots of duct tape....
  11. Day 30. So I've finally hit the 30 day mark Timing was pretty good, because there is a big dorm party being held today in the plaza outside of the dorms... Anyways, I will be posting in a separate thread my thoughts on the 30 days. Thank you SuperDave71, Gipper, and everyone else who contributed to my healing. I still have plenty of work to do, so I will be counting on you guys
  12. Interesting thread. I think I'll keep it in my back pocket in case I decide to do contact.
  13. Day 29! Nearly at the 30 day mark! Woke up this morning alright, then felt kinda crappy for a little while, but I'm alright again, and feeling good! As silly as it sounds, when I watch funny cartoons I feel so much better. I did that most of yesterday night, and I felt great! I was laughing again, and wow did I do a lot of it. Thanks SuperDave for your latest thread btw. Was rather useful in refocusing myself with NC.
  14. This could be interesting. Count me in.
  15. Day 28! Woke up this morning, almost allowed myself to get the morning blues again, but this time I took the offensive and fought them off. So I'm having a pretty good morning this time Still don't know what God has planned for me, I see signs of something great over the horizon though, and I cannot wait. ^_^ Let's see how the rest of the day goes.
