knicksdan311 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hey guys just thought I might share with you tonight. A quick backround I'm on day 5 of NC, and about a month since my split. 8 days after finding out my ex had found somebody else. The last week has been such an emotional roller coaster, but through confiding in loved ones, friends and you guys here I'm trying. Threads like mcgrupps 1 year ago thread and the NC guide have been very helpful in helping me do it the right way. After getting down today I decided I am least going to try and make myself a better person. FOR ME. I started with a few simple things. I;m going to start running nightly. No more drinking for 2 reasons; one I have been doing too much of it to feel better and two I have a beer gut. I will rid of this. I also made appointment to get lasik eye surgery after YEARS of talking about it. This may not seem like much, but to have things to look forward to feels great. Right now I just got back from a 2 mile run and feel as happy as I have without booze or drugs in the last month. I know I'm not close to being out of the woods yet but its a start. I could wake up and feel like **** tomorrow, but knowing that i felt so good a matter of hours earlier will help too. I guess what I'm saying is I feel like a just have made a giant first step. While it would always be great running into the ex in a year and her being stunned at my improvements, that's not why I'm doing it. I'm doing it for me! Just wanted to share because if I can feel this good tonight after how low I was yesterday any of you can, but you have to be proactive about it. Hope I may help somebody.
