Where do you want to be in five years?

Great but start off with being in love with you. You cant attract anything healthy until you dont need it, but can accept it if it comes along.

This is such a hopeful post!! Thank you! It really helps so much just to start thinking in these terms of the future.... to make it whatever we want it to be. Better days ahead!!! :0)

Hi, Since I've been NC for 5 years I'll count backwards... Five Years ago right before going NC: I... was in a zombie state and could barely function had to take a leave from my job lost family/kids (moved out to be with N) lost friends was treated like everyone's whipping post was slandered as "crazy" and didn't want to leave the house. felt worthless, low and ashamed. gave up my syndicated newspaper column because I couldn't concentrate long enough to even watch television, I could just look at the colors. Now: I... just married a wonderful guy after dating 4 years. Kids are doing great. own a nice home have a new career in real estate. have alot of friends am treated with respect. am very happy What a difference 5 years can make if we keep moving forward towards freedom. If I had stayed or went back my past five years would read VERY differently. If you're tempted to go back, just think of what your next 5 years will be like. P.S. But I still hate the N.....

Sane

In 5 years I want my health, friendships, to be in a committed relationship with a wonderful, caring man and to do work that fulfills me in my field. HERE is a TOAST to US ALL................

All EXCELLENT GOALS!!!! Good luck on your journey, you deserve all of these.......we all do!

closer to God,married to a kind man,maybe take in foster kids,20 pounds lighter,a meaningful job,making a difference in lots of people's lives,and more purpose and focus,and dicipline.

I want to feel that I am free from anxiety, fear and anger. I want to feel joy at being alive. I want to feel loved by myself and another- a good conscious kind man... I want to have totally given up the past- no more obsession, anger or resentment. I want "him" to be a dim memory. I want to have an optimistic, open and curious heart. I want to love me most of all..and always know how to protect my precious heart.

Good question and it is something I have thought a lot about and this is where I believe I WILL be in 5 years time: Happily married with possibly a child, financially secure and owning our own home. Living the life that I was meant to live ... full of love, laughter and joy with family & friends
