Hi - I'm actually 4 years into recovery, a happily married success story. If you have recently found out about an affair, I just wanted to recommend journaling. It helped me at the time in the months following D-day, but I've really only recently realized how much it helped me. Looking back over what I wrote, thought and felt back then, compared to the way I see things now, is fascinating.

I got down in the dumps with an enormous trigger a while back and started some more journaling and decided to do it on-line -- Click Here To View Blog -- and it still helps me a great deal. I recommend. You can be honest, and let all the lovebusters out in a safe environment.

Good luck

I too have been journaling for years. I was amazed at the entrys I wrote 3 months BEFORE I found out about H's A! My suspicions, the odd things he did and the way he was treating me was all journaled and after I found out I had a timeline for almost everything I found out.
I have been able to write about a lot of my frustration and pain and anger in my journal and also avoid Love Busters this way, I am also able to "think things out" on paper.
I am staring to have issues though with my feelings of anger that my journaling is not helping with. I have more anger than the paper can hold. I need another way to voice it before I "blowup".
Anyother suggestions?
