I love this - especially the close the door point. I have SO many friends that just move on to the next relationship and dont figure out what went wrong with the last one - repeating the same mistakes over and over! You;'d think they'd figure it out but no!

This was a great article. It is an exciting time of ones life. I especially agree with the part about looking at past relationships to determine what needs to be changed. Personal growth needs to occur before one can truely go on and expect different results.

I agree with bbutler.  Personal growth is so important.  Now is the time for self-time to pursue your goals and what's important to you.  Run a 5k, read a book, volunteer, take a class, learn how to play the guitar, go to church (more often), be more daring, spend more time with your kids.  Any accomplishment, big or small, will be a liberation and the recipe to a healthy recovery.

I would go one step further and suggest one read "Eat, Pray, Love" for even more valuable insight into yourself. It's all about letting go and opening up with a firm foundation of who you are.
