OMG I wouldn't dream of giving up this PEACE though!
|
That was the first thing I felt after leaving my husband (no ex). Even with the crap I still had to (& still have to) deal with, not having to live around him & the stress & anger he caused 24/7 gave me the peaceful times when I can re-energize do deal with tge things & even handle them in peaceful ways. It is not just living around people who abuse substances that are exhausting, it is living around anyone where conflict exists at a major emotional level.
The peace was immediate & the good thing now is when something upsets that peaceful feeling for whatever reason, I immediately analyze the cause & try to respond in a way to regain that peace because the difference is very obvious. Sometimes it is just a matter of limiting my activities when I feel overloaded, sometimes it is removing or limiting people from my social circle. Sometimes it is just figuring out the best way to get through a challenge & getting through it. When peace returns I know I am on the right path.
Feeling peace is a wonderful guide to life
