Congrats Al!!  You are doing great, I am so happy for you! I am glad that you are starting to get back to yourself, you need to take care of YOU! Breakups are hard but like the saying goes "there are more fish in the sea", even if you don't want another fish right now when the time is right..... Carree |

That is sooo awesome to hear. Thank you as well. I need to hear about people's successes, it truly inspires me because then I'm like "oh, maybe I will be free someday." Keep it up and congrats!

thanks everyone. I really hope I can inspire people. I swear, something in my 31 yr old brain clicked one afternoon and I just gave it up like that. Yes, my fingers are a bit biten but compared what I was doing to my feet and lips, Im normal. I wrote a letter saying good bye to my addiction and told it not to bother me anymore. It was a serious but kind of funny letter. I told it not to visit me anywhere else(although lately its trying to say hello to my fingers). I want to be in a serious relationship, I want to wear sexy shoes, I want to live without being afraid.
I just had such a bad breakup b/c I feel like he made me strong enough to quit even though I never told him about my problem. A few nights after we ended it, he came over and rubbed my feet b/c he could see I was so sad about the break up and that he was moving on. He said "wow, your feet are so smooth!!!" I used to keep bandages and chalk it up to callouses. I think Im sort of at peace with the relationship b/c I know he healed me in every way!! It was the best sense of accomplishment knowing my scars were gone. Now I have to feel good without him...sigh xoxoxox
