Uplifting messages to keep you on track to ex-recovery

[hesnotworthit]

I think many people experience times when we just want to deny all the bad things that happened in our past relationships and want them back in our lives because we dont want to deal with the pain of a broken heart.

 

Im not an expert with loads of experience but i just wanted to share a few messages/quotes/my thoughts/advice that helped and still are helping me get through the sucky times, and remind everyone of the pot of gold awaiting us at the end of the road of recovery, were doing the right thing in letting go

 

 

"If you really love something, set it free, if it comes back, its yours, if not, it wasnt meant to be".

 

"Relationships are like glasses, sometimes its better to leave them broken, rather then to hurt yourself, trying to put it back together".

 

"For few love can last a lifetime, but for many not knowing when to let go can hold them back forever"

 

"Only when your able to completely detach yourself, can you be set free".

 

"If someone you love hurts you, cry a river, build a bridge and get over it".

 

"Dont cry over someone who wont cry over you".

 

"No guy is worth your tears, and when you find the one that is, he wont make you cry".

 

"Choose to accept the pain, but dont turn it into suffering".

 

"I only miss loving what he could have been"

 

"You are not responsible for my happiness. You do not give me value or purpose. I dont need to hold on to you to keep living my life, or to be fullfilled. I alone am responsible for my happiness."

 

"Connections with your ex only cause pain".

 

"No contact feels like a never ending tunnel of misery, but it really leads to sunshine. Contact appears to be a rainbow, but it really leads to a pot of lava. No contact is hard. Contact is harder"

 

"He's not worth it"!!!

I really like these two:

 

"I only miss loving what he could have been"

 

"You are not responsible for my happiness. You do not give me value or purpose. I dont need to hold on to you to keep living my life, or to be fullfilled. I alone am responsible for my happiness."

This was my favorite: "If you really love something, set it free, if it comes back, its yours, if not, it wasnt meant to be".

My favorite quote that has helped me lately was posted by another user in a previous thread. I think it sums up the very reasons we must do all it takes to move on with our lives and become stronger, healthier people. Wishing you all the best in your recovery.

 

"You have the power to transform today's pain into tomorrow's wisdom, and you should love yourself enough to choose to do exactly that. There is joy waiting for you. You will be healthy enough to recognize and embrace it when it comes, and know that if this is what it took to find it, it was worth all this and more."

i know i had this one on my own thread but ill add it to yours as well!!

 

The worst thing is holding on to someone who doesn't want to be held on to. Don't fall for someone unless they're willing to catch you. The thing about falling in love is that if you do it right, you'll never hit the ground. Life is too short to be anything but happy. So kiss slowly. Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Take chances & never have regrets. Forget the past but remember what it taught you. Sometimes you just have to smile, pretend everything's okay, hold back the tears and walk away. If you want to see the RAINBOW you must go through the RAIN. If you want TRUE LOVE you must go through the PAIN. Women were made from a MAN'S RIB, not from his head to be SUPERIOR, not from his feet to be WALKED ON, but from his side to be EQUAL, from under his arm to be PROTECTED, and from next to the HEART to be LOVED.

Thanks! I'm really loving all of these quotes--very helpful in the healing process!

 

"He's not worth it" -- I'm beginning to realize that. I WILL find a guy, someday, who will stick with me through thick and thin, and not up and leave because of a few stupid arguments, or because drinking beer with friends is more important!
