1. I became vegetarian and started getting more involved in issues that arose instead of ignoring them. My health improved and I was inspired to spend more time with animals (which I already loved to do.) I went out in nature a lot and it was always exhilarating and refreshing. I was also began doing yoga and meditating often, which drastically improved my emotional health.

Now that I’ve “sobered up” a bit from that initial phase of freedom im starting to reflect back on the relationship. It pains me to think that I was unsupportive and damaging to another persons life, but they weren’t very positive all the time for me either. I often find myself thinking back and missing this person and our time together and I know I should not dwell in the past but it hurts. All these questions begin to arise like what if I paid more attention to them? Was it my fault? Would we still be together? These are all things I never thought about until now and lately it’s been bringing me down a lot. I have not had contact with this person since we fell a part, and I don’t think I have the strength to make contact anyway.
