I pushed away the fantasy again today so that I could function.

I still don't know the right thing.

I stopped drinking caffeine on Friday, November 16.

The fantasies are calming down a little now. I still have the crush, maybe the caffeine augmented it?

I did some hard questioning again t his weekend about my condition.

I worked on another site that deals with love addiction. Love Addiction Recovery. They're a tough bunch, but their readings are good.

I am working on a concept of "stripping away" the essence of the man. Because it's not the human being I love, it's the ideas, the book, and his Russian name that I am hung up on.

I pray I am getting somewhere.

This has still been a challenge.

I noticed longleaf is gone.

She did not fail me, I failed myself.

I am still trying to get rid of this.

Again, I am trying a "transfer" thing; that technique that recovering torchbearers use.

I am making up someone in my head with the same name as Anatoli's.

I can't continue to be limerent on a dead end.

I am still not sure where I am going with this.

I have finally let him go.

I am reading Siddhartha.

As a pwbpd, I feel I need someone to focus on for comfort and Siddhartha is much better for me.

He is a fictitious figure which means not someone real (even dead) whom I cannot have, which fed on my angst, drama, and self-punishment.

I pray someday I won't need anyone that way.
