I am currently reading a great book. It is titled "The Spirituatliy of Imperfection. Storytelling and the Journey to Wholeness"<p>I found it in the addiction section of Barnes and Noble. It ties in with AA a bit.<p>This particular passage I found interesting as so many WS think that the idea of the fog is new and just MB pshyco-babble they need to think again. Disclaimer here, this book is not about infidelity.<p>Evagrius Ponticus, one of the more influential Egyptian monks, died in 399. Evagrius emphasized honest self-knowledge. He set himself the task of detailing the different traps and temptations that can distort understanding by imposing on the mind some false perspective. Evagrius called these traps logismos-thoughts that bewilder and befog the mind so that slowly, bit by bit, we drift away into a world of self destructive fantasy........................Logismos are the arch-enemies of the soul, the demons from within that destroy proper perspective on the world and thus prevent us from concentrating on the actual reality of our life, leading us to try to solve problems that have not yet arisin and need never arise. <p>I have gotten so much from this book and I'm only 1/3 of the way through!! If you are still struggling to understand why all this has happened this book may offer some good guidance.
It has a lot of good info to help you let go. I must say that I was pretty much over the STBX when I started reading this but it reaffirms what I felt.

Never heard of the book but will have to look into getting it-
