Sandi, I responded with ALL THAT prior to being given any advice on here. It wasn't til the next day that I read the responses and re-read her text. The damage has been done and I'm not going to dwell on it.
W has sent me a few emails and texts since then. I've only been answering the important Q's that deal with the kids. Never responded to her email this morning. I can tell that backing off is working though. She has been initiating a lot of emails and texts lately. She has only been in her new place for a few weeks and I'm sure is lonely.
Going forward... going to not try and make any more serious mistakes.
As for 180's lately... I had a pretty big one. I quit dipping (smokeless tobacco) 48 hours ago. It's a pretty disgusting habit that I've had since playing Legion Baseball in H.S.. I work in the oilfields and most people here dip. Honestly... it feels like I'm DBing myself right now just to take my mind off dipping. I've never smoked, so I can't compare it to quitting smoking, but it is tough. I'm doing this for me... and this is a pretty big 180. Supposedly, after 72 hours the nicotine is gone from your system. Just like DBing, I'll have to take this one day at a time.
