But Im guessing THIS is what it feels like to have withdrawls. It seems most days have been pretty good but then the obssessing comes in where I feel like if I can have just ONE more hit it will all be ok. Of course I will NEVER go back to my narc or contact him but WOW its crazy to me how I have always said to all my friends and family that I felt Addicted to him for soo long. I can now understand Druggies a little more its HARD to stay AWAY.

I have been trying to write all the bad things i have been through with my narc and it really is helping me see the REALITY of our "relationship" Its so easy for me to remember the fantasy of what I thought we had. I go back and think of ALL the RED FLAGS that I just let go. I remember after i was dating him for about 3 months he once told me "I'm selfish..I lOVE myself!" I should have ran as fast as i could but I think I was thinking NO he loves me enough he will change. Fast forward a YEAR and nothing changed it only got WORSE of course.

The Meanest thing he did to me was a few months ago. My mom had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and was going to have a 15 hr surgery. I was alone in the waiting room while all my family had someone to hold there hand. My family hated him and he was not invited to hold my hand. He did text me ALL day saying how he wished he could be there for me and IF he had gas money he would have come seen me (it was about 30 miles away)...Its gets better....After texting me all day being VERY supportive I get a text that says.." I dont want to tell you this today but im leaving to Alabama TOMORROW ( we live in california)!!" After being with this man for a year and a half he busts this out on me THIS day of all days! He knew I could not come say goodbye I was with my mom. He left the next day with no goodbye no text nothing..3 days later he texts me. We made it. I was DEVASTATED i could barely even be there for my mom I was so sad this man I loved just left..not knowing when he would be back.He texted me from Alabama telling me he did it for ME that he didnt want that day to be about him..REALLY he did it all for me!! What a JACKASS!! When I look back now I feel sooo guilty for letting this man take soo much from me. I know they can be selfish but WOW I never saw that coming. I must say when im sad or missing him it really hits me that this man can and will NEVER change. Im feeling lucky to be awaken to all this with the help of all of you. I dont post much or comment much but im here EVERY day reading and reading it has truly helped me get through my hardest days. I thank you all for the support ive recieved. I have ALONG way to go but the fog is lifting and im happy for that.

Thank you all truly!!

drugs

Think about what drugs do.
Distort reality.
ease pain.
put you into lala land.
Can be toxic.
Lower your boundaries.

Being with an n does all the above.

My brain was drenched in dopamine at first. Sex addict that he was. I got caught up in it.

We are going thru withdrawal.
I like reality, it's healthy.

I couldnt agree

I couldnt agree more Lily I felt like he was my drug and if I couldnt get him that day my whole day was ruined until I got my "fix" from him. He was also a sex addict..I used to think he just really like to be with me lol..NOW I know!! I love REALITY and im sooo trying to get healthy! Goodluck to you also this withdrawal process is HARD!!

We're in this together

This site is so comforting. I did that Kaleah LaRoche's cord cutting process last night. I actually had a physical reaction. And every day I feel stronger and today the depression has lifted. Interesting because it is a really stormy day and I don't do well with clouds and rain.

Most of the time I was depressed and anxious around him, all he had to do was throw a crumb my way and I was elated.

Yuk,

Lily

I feel at home

Lily I feel so at home here. Everyone is soo supportive and have been through all the same things! Its funny you mention the cord cutting..I have always felt like the N has my soul and I felt like we were connected and he wont let me go, Every time i have felt strong and wanted to move on i felt this pull and I know spiritually it is him not letting me go. Im going to look into the cord cutting ive been feeling the pulling ALOT lately it gives me alot of anxiety! Everyday is a new day and im soo glad you have been able to cut the cord from him. I cant wait to feel a peace about that..Thank you for the info Im going to do it!

Lily, I really like how

Lily, I really like how succinctly you put all that. So true, and a really insightful way to view all this!

just me, I am proud of you

for giving yourself a big REALITY CHECK when you felt like you were "missing him." This is the way you will make sure to never allow yourself to be used and abused again. Separating the FACTS from the EMOTIONS is so important in the early stages of No Contact and healing.

The more no contact you get under your belt, the more the fog lifts and the more you remember the FACTS which helps override the swirl of emotions. This is good. YOu are doing great.

Keep up the good work. Keep getting it out. It truly does help. And once it's out, it's gone and you can let it go. The past has not power over you any more.

Love,
(not) spinning. AND IT FEELS GREAT

Reality isnt easy..

I have to remind myself its NOT him I miss..Its the feeligs I got from him. When I go off my emotions it kills me!! I have to step back and really force myself to look at it how it realy WAS, NOT how I wanted to see it! Im almost 2 months NC Physical and 1 month NC Texting..It seems like its been SOOO long but everyday thats pasts is one more day behind me and one more that im living withought him!! Im trying soo hard but wow these last few days have been rough..Thanks Spinning I cant wait to get where you are :)

Actually, the meanest thing

Actually, the meanest thing he ever did to you, was expect you to come second.

Everything else he did or didn't do, proves that point.

You're healing, and you are going to be better than ever. I know this. Stay strong. You will have good days, and bad.

Here's to running the MINUTE something doesn't feel right in our gut. Here's to running the minute we are used, abused, and treated less than we should be. ((hugs))

NC

NC = Not Controlling (me anymore)
NC = Not Cutout (to be in my life)
NC = Nice Clear (head)
NC = No Charade
NC = Not Caring (enough for me)
NC = No clue (how to treat someone)

Each day I am getting a little better, the 'peeking temptation' is slowly fading away again.. x

NC is the way...

NC is the ONLY way and Im soo happy Im sticking with it!! NC is SOOO much more then just No Contact :) Thank you for the reminder and I cant wait until I have NO urge "to peek" ...
