Keep venting especially if it makes you stronger!!

I think our WAS try to 'set us up' in scenarios that will cause us to react in our 'old' ways...so then they can say: "see. you haven't changed.' I struggle with this because I sometimes feel myself slipping back into old habits- but now have the tools to keep me from going there. It's rewarding to see the look on my H's face change to confusion when I don't react the way he expected me to.... and that makes me want to do it more!

This is my favorite quote right now... and it is *exactly* what DB is all about:

"The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it." — John Ruskin
(you are determined to become that better person that he doesn't think you can be... that's a great path to be on!)
