Hey I post sporadically here but wanted to report in.

This September puts me at a little over a year mark.

4 seasons of reminders, the birthdays, holidays, anniversary & what not.

During the time I had to sell the house we built together & move into a new place.

It was cleansing to leave the home we lived in but it was like another loss too.

Also during the year, my ex got a new partner & got engaged.

I only know this for we still had to be in limited contact due to a business & financial entanglements.

I struggled at times thinking I would lose my mind BUT

I made it kicking & screaming & crying & healing

It is a miracle.

Also I am a recovering alcoholic (10 yrs) & didn't have to drink or use.

That in itself is a miracle and I am so grateful.

Yesterday, my ex and I actually worked all day together for the first time in 13 months.

It went fine and after we went our separate ways.

I can honestly say I hit a turning point & I felt ok even when driving away.

I didn't think 13 months ago that would be at all possible.

So yeah I guess I just needed to report that life does go on & is what you make it.

Everyone' s story is different but I certainly am happy to be at peace finally.

Sharing experience, strength and hope is what has helped me in other areas of my life.

I think it has helped me through this life lesson as well.

I mean that is how I view it. A life lesson of my ex wasn't the person I was meant to be with in that way.

Looking forward to my next adventure & my best to all LS posters.
