I am going to a concert with 2 friends and the friend that organized the event sent out a text with details (because I had asked). For some reason I got the dates mixed up and thought the concert was tonight when it on the 20th. I even took half a day off and drove to my friend's place. Upon arrival I called her and she pointed out the fact that the concert is the 20th. Now, my normal reaction would have been to get angry with myself for forgetting...but I was able to accept the fact that it was simply a mistake and now I am home relaxing on my 1/2 day.  What is your small victory?? |

Nice! Thanks for sharing your small victory.
I don't have any on the AP side of things lately but we should keep this thread ongoing.

So...not exactly a huge victory...but B wasn't at the church group today and at first...my mind went through the following 1. I did not respond to B's last series of texts correctly so now he doesn't think that I care 2. He is spending time with a girl he met who is...so much better than me. 3. He is avoiding me for some mistakes made.....none of these thoughts have any proof...but OH MAN did each of them FEEL REAL. I wanted to reach out...I wanted a fix of connection...I wanted to "know" we were "ok"...but I did not send a text. Even as my attachment pain was screaming...there is something wrong and it is all your fault and you must fix it now....I just sat and cried and wondered how other people do this...how in the world it doesn't bring them to their knees, how it doesn't feel like the end of the world like it does for me. But I did not reach out...so I guess that is the victory.
