It’s been a year now since my relationship ended for the second time, and today I’m in a really good place. I’m happily single, living a fabulous, drama-free life and working towards my goals (a flat and a puppy in the next 5 years!).Generally, I am on top of the world.
These days, its hard to imagine that just a short year ago I was an absolute wreck; in a terribly unhealthy relationship where I was struggling to ‘win’ someone over who didn’t want to be won.
Ultimately, we just didn’t want the same things – and while the end was excruciatingly painful and I truly, wholeheartedly loved him, I had no choice but to let him go. I struggled immensely at first. And I definitely had my moments where I would backslide (usually caused by excessive alcohol consumption) but eventually I conquered the experience, and it became a personal epiphany about self-esteem, healthy emotional habits and choosing better men.
I wanted to share the things that pulled me out of my breakup hell and propelled me forward with those of you who are still hurting. The whole process was very trial and error – and it was a long, long trial and lots and lots of error, believe me! But after I got through all 12 steps, the entire relationship began to feel like a movie I watched once a really long time ago. I knew the story, and I knew the characters – but it was a really distant memory, almost like a dream.
