Grateful im over a toxic relationship that fuelled a lot of my using. Felt like I would never get over the confusion and pain of it. The push pull avoidant cycles and co-addictions. We loved each other deeply, but were both very sick. I dont dwell on it often and only remember the good. My little daughter is the only valentine I need. It was all part of a bigger plan as that compressed intense relationship pushed me into treatment. Life and relationships WILL get better when we work on ourselves. Vibrate higher and well attract the right one- when its time. Dont chase. Dont run from anything. Trust in it fully. Gotta let go to grow. Choose yourself and love yourself.

I personally am struggling this Valentine’s as it’s the first without the toxic one in 4 years. I know it was horrible, but still miss it at time. Ugh. Haha it WILL get better.

Having the courage to do whats best for yourself is amazing!
For myself, your story is inspiring, I'm struggling with the same type of toxic relationship, although I have kept myself sober for a year now. Its hard everyday, I appreciate reading others journeys.

Be grateful, pain has a purpose. Loving yourself first will open the door for the right person to find you. Now you’re doing all of the right things for YOU to be better. Be gentle with yourself, things will work out!

Right on Corey! 
. So many of us let toxic relationships drag us down. I’ve learned the hard way that I gotta cut ‘em loose and move on quickly. My sobriety is my number one priority in life, over finance, romance and even family:facepunch:

Vibrate higher! Love that. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing that Corey! Every time someone shares from the heart like this, it gives us all hope and strength. One would think that choosing peace would be so easy and simple. I had to take an as$ whooping over and over again until I could make that choice. Grateful to be reminded today of the positive changes made ODAAT
For me, I must remember that if I fail to care for myself & my sobriety first, I have nothing to offer to a healthy, happy, growing relationship. I have already proven that I have a broken ‘picker’ when I am not healthy and 2 broken’s do not make 1 healthy relationship.
“Vibrate higher”. I love that!
