SunsetRed Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 As one year closes and a new one begins, I am reflective on my past and future. Ive had many forms of demons in my past..severe eating disorder, drug addiction, sexual addiction...and now I see my past relationship w xMM as a demon too. All of these demons come from the same source, severly damaged self worth. I don't know if I will ever fully conquer that, but I am going to keep trying. My treatment programs have given me tools to beat the eating disorder, drug and sex addiction. I just sort of mechanicially follow the protocol and do what I should do to not respond to triggers. So, maybe I can do the same w MM. We don't see each other but I still think about him, so that leaves the door open. The healthiest thing would b if my mind didn't even go there at all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Quiet Storm Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yes, you can use those tools and coping skills to get over mm. Knowing your triggers and weaknesses can help shield you from the demons. Recognizing that mm is just a new and differrent "demon" is a huge step in your journey to improve your self worth. Self awareness leads to self management and positive choices. You are learning to protect yourself, from yourself. Great post, Sunset Red. Link to post Share on other sites
