Jusstme1977 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I am posting this because quite frankly I need some kudos. I had a really hurtful breakup fairly recently. I have been struggling with sadness and not contacting my ex. Two weeks before the breakup we were robbed at gunpoint which added to the sadness a great deal. I enrolled myself in therapy. I started going to AlAnon (my parents were addicts). I also started applying to several graduate programs who are all eager to have me as a student and I will be starting in the spring semester. I have had breakups before and I have wallowed in self pity but not this time. I am on a fast track to a better life no matter what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekb Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 You are awesome - strangely break ups can really be a chance to put your energy towards the things you always wanted to do. Kudos to you for doing just that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitgirl Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Don't get me wrong. I still miss him like crazy and its soooooooo hard to not contact him, but I'm trying real hard. Hey! We're in the same boat. I feel like I'm in the same place as you...I'm not completely ok, but I am doing everything I can to get in that place. I'm really proud of you! It seems like a lot of people come on here to get validation for the WRONG things they're doing and not the right. Very cool to see you doing well.

Movingforward3 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Ur doing great! I went to a few aa meetings to support a friend and I got a lot out of it. So much, I think I will attend Alnon. Fit girl and I and everyone on here no where ur at. Taking each day as it comes and focusing on ur self is the toughest step. U will have challenges, but u can do it! Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
