almost four months into my living hell and i really have hope now. hope of living a normal life again.
i went out with a girl tonite i went to high school with, not i really think will turn into anything but wow did she ever help me see i was normal at one time.
i had a real life i did real things, im thankful for tonite and old friends.
its a long hard road but it can be done we can live again.
for those of you like me starting or at some point of n/c stick with it. find away to free your self. get out and live.
i know ill have bad days again and its not over for me but ive seen the truth as you will too.
God be with us all.

Simply, right on! I'm happy that you are feeling better! I tried too soon. Right after I learned that I was indeed single I dated three different women very quickly. Each one of them finer than the ex. I certainly wasn't looking for a r/s. It is a great temporary distraction. And yes... It feels wonderful to sense the freedom to enjoy and do as I wish. Live life a little. The whole time and to this day almost five months later I still have "her" on my mind. For me it isn't about the flesh and blood but the dream. The illusion that persists in my mind. I thought I had found happy ever after. Turned out to be a rattlesnake. I hate it when that happens.
