Why am I successful-
-I learned a ton of stuff about myself and learned to like myself again.
-I learned how to create a decent relationship with X and a great relationship with BF
-I learned how to be happy with myself and break codependent patterns
-I broke behavior patterns within myself that i didn't like

What techniques did I use--

-Gal to figure out who I am, what I like, what I don't like etc...
-180's to change things about me that both X and I didn't like (mostly stuff I didn't like
-Boundaries-to stop allowing myself to accept behaviors that were damaging to me into my life
-the 48 hour rule (not so sure that is in the book)-to stop my tongue from using the mind it has to react and allow my brain to form conscious actions
-dark-to remove myself from the situation until I was on firmer ground with in myself to be able to use all of the other techniques...
