JDPT Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Thankfully I feel ok. Being dumped off a 4.5 year relationship 7 months ago has made me realize and assortment of things. I'm learning to value myself as a person and prioritize my needs and wants in life. I've been through the wringer and back as many of you are and have gone through. I feel content to spend my birthday with family, the only people who have been there for me as always. I don't look forward, hope or need for my ex to contact me today or any other day, I now understand that it's better this way. Thank you guys for being there, this site has become an imperative component of my recovery journey. 8
Toddbt12y1 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 First: Happy Birthday! I hope it brings you a blessing! Second: I am well pleased at your progress. The fact that you learned to work on yourself, highlights everything coming to full circle. Acceptance shows you're maturing in your recovery - you can now live satisfied single, until someone else better comes along. I am proud of you...Happy Birthday! 1

Author JDPT Posted December 12, 2013 Author Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks guys for the warm wishes. I'm starting to understand that things do happen for a reason and that there is always a lesson to be learn out of whatever adversity life decides to throw at you. I've suffered, I've cried, I've wished for the pain to just end and quiet honestly these were inevitable phases that I had tongi through in order to get where I am now. I can honestly say that I have come a long way but with tons of work on my end, it didn't come easy. There is still a long and better future to pave, the journey continues.

Author JDPT Posted December 12, 2013 Author Posted December 12, 2013 I don't remember where I heard it but something about how you'll never meet anyone who loves you more than your own mother. Damn straight. You are absolutely right!

Author JDPT Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 Happy Birthday mate! The day is all yours. I just wish someday i would be in your shoes and be confident like you. Hope so the days comes soon. So what did you do at the birthday? With a lot of effort and the right tools you can accomplish anything you set our mind to. I'm still a work in progress which is ok. I want to go through every phase and master all of them as I know this will not be the first and last I may have to go through this. The day surprisingly went by pretty fast. Worked in the morning, saw my therapist and then had a good time at a xmas party, now I'm just trying to relax and enjoy the remainder of the night. 1
Trick1004 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Happy Birthday! Sounds like your doing well. I'm at about 7 months also and had my birthday a couple days before Thanksgiving last month. Didn't really faze me, I'm thinking Christmas and New Years should be a piece of cake! I'll tip a cold one back for you! Cheers! Trick 1

Just hoping to see things change within me and myself. Life is pretty hard, it amazing how things look so different when there's no one to look after yourself. Well thats a nice day. It shows you are busy with your life and thats what life is all about. moving on and doing something each day to satisfy yourself. 1
StyleOnEm Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 You should have birthdays more often. Best thread in awhile. Happy b-day my g. 1
