AMM003 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I have been 6 weeks NC. And doing alittle better each day. Who or what would you thank? Who has helped you? What has helped? If anything, it'll help people hurting realize there are other people/things that are also very important in their lives. Lets hear your top 7 things to help you with NC. I am thankful for: 1. My ex-wife(one of my best friends) for listening to me talk about the pain I am having with my EX. Damned - she is strong! 2. My best friend who puts things rather bluntly. 3. My 3 dogs. (they show the real meaning of unconditional love). 4. My work which keeps me so damn busy I dont have time to think about her. 5. Sam Adams, Guiness, Bass, Henieken, Corona, and a few local micros. 6. My sister and my brother who helps me see the religious side of things. 7. My parents - whose alterior motive is for me to get back with my ex-wife.
monkeymaid Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 sounds likea great support system you have there ill bite 1. exercise/martial arts/endorphines ...it makes you feel good, and the healthy factor, and physique accompanied helps feed the ego 2. work ...for the same reason as you 3. Some damn good friends ...when you cant pick yourself up they are always there 4. therapist. ...pretty self explanatory 5. old truck ...when i need to beat metal, or weld or just do manly **** i go to the garage and fix it. nothing like being destructive when you need to be constructive 6. music ...music soothes even the savage beast 7. kids ...not mine, i work with them, so playing, watching, talking to them helps more than any other thing. it really puts things into perspective
chrissreef Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 amazing how some people step up! IF ONLY SHE STOOD UP and tried rather than run off with her personal trainer that simply gave her attention! grrr lol 1. sister i rarely talked to, but now we talk daily about how i'm doing, WOW! 2. dance lessons 3. exercise 4. co-workers for understanding and listening to me 5. dog - unconditional love for sure! sadly, the dog was a present for her so she reminds me of her a lot =( 6. parents 7. friends 8. some new friends
openbook08 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 1. my family 2. my friends (even the ones id brushed off many times because he was in a sulk over one thing or another & would point blank refuse to keep any prior engagements) 3. the children I teach 4. loveshack & the few friends ive made on here, likewise my ear is always open to anyone 5. Eoin & Dan , the 2 really nice guys i met on a 'girls' holiday a few weeks after the break up. as jen aniston says 'my defibrillators'!! 6. white wine (in the very immediate aftermath) 7. my ex. from freeing me from a very bleak future & wasting my love and kind heartedness on someone who never deserved it. i see that now. prick. THANK YOU!
huck Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Friends and family - big style. The whole break up thing makes you realise how important your best friends are and should never be taken for granted. One thing ive realised is that during the past year of the relationship i spent far too much time with my ex and didnt appreciate my mates as much as i should never again............
Hersheys Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 1) LS. I've learned so much about relationships here. What to do, what to avoid. Never settle for crumbs, never settle for friendship with the ex, know when you're just being strung along etc. 2) Music. It's my outlet when I'm depressed and frustrated. 3) Me. At the end of the day, I only got myself to deal with my heartbreak. I really don't talk about my relationship problems with my friends. I ask them and they give advice but I don't talk to the point of wearing them down.
Author AMM003 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks guys! It'a weird. I cried for the first time last night since being let go 6 weeks ago. It came out of no where. I guess it was like a pressure cooker. And a wave of sheer sadness came over me. It feels good that I am not alone. But I think it feels better when I think that all the folks here are also doing better. Little by little. Any more folks wanna include what or who has helped them with NC?
Knight_Ctrl Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I'll throw in some. These are in no particular order. 1. Video games, it sure is nice to be able to not be in this world for a while. 2. Booze (yep) 3. My family, they know that this has crushed me and has been very supportive. 4. My dog, cause I can hug her and shes fuzzy. 5. My friends for being there when I need em and giving me the occasional kick in the balls I sometimes need. 6. Everyone on LS for showing me that I'm not the only one hurting because of someone they loved. 7. **** im done, im tearing up now.
