I just had this idea after reading Mik's post.

How about if we use this thread to count the NC days, all of us? Each one would mention how long he/she's been maintaining the NC period and how he/she feels with time.
Maybe in some way this can help us all (including me)?

This is my first NC day.. Afternoon here, so far didn't even touch my phone. I don't know how I feel, but I'm not that miserable, I have a goal and thinking about it, NOT HER!

What about the rest of you?

A few hours ago he IMed me saying "Talk to me damn it".What? Was he being playful?

chuff

He's being lonely.

So....we've established he's a liar.

Don't give in, your doing the right thing.

kaneda

Both of you are probably right,but maybe i'm at fault too - trying to overanalyze simple words and gestures.

Very dangerous territory and many of us have been there. I know it sucks to hear "Just don't do it" but check the sticky in the forum, it has tons of things to do to keep busy. Thats the key, keep yourself busy so you can't sit and think about it.

BigBird, I must admit, I am very pleased with the progress you have made. Just take a look back to your original posts here and then read the posts you have done within the past couple days. It's truly a breath taking expierence when you realized you are starting to heal

Thanks man. It really is pretty breathtaking as you say. It's such a good feeling. I think I started to notice when I began coming on here to help other people more than I came on here to get help myself. In a weird way, answering other questions gives me the answers to my own questions before they even come up. Its funny really....
