Past qualifiers or reminders of past qualifiers sometimes pop up when we least expect them. For example, I wrote last week about having to contact a previous qualifier as part of my job duties. Well, during that call, he flirted with me and did everything in his power to hook me back in, even stating at the end of the call that I should feel free to contact him whenever I wanted. (He's married too. Ugh!) I had no intention of doing so and he must have sensed that because he called my office phone again yesterday and left a voicemail. I will not be returning his call of course.
Another example of this happened last night. I was reviewing my blocked list on Facebook and for whatever reason I don't understand, Facebook allows you to see both the current name and profile picture of the person you blocked. Well, my recent qualifier is on that list and I saw that he no longer has a profile picture. I have looked at my blocked list one time before since we stopped communicating and he had a picture at that time. Of course, that got my wheels turning. I wondered if he deleted his account and created a new one or what was going on. I successfully fought the urge to search his name on Facebook because that's one of my bottom lines. I just hate that I have such a visceral reaction to just seeing his name.
And to top it all off, there is a guy that goes to my gym that looks a lot like my most recent qualifier. Naturally he was at the gym this evening, looking all hot and stuff. But for the first time, I did see a wedding ring on his finger so that helped to put things in perspective. The struggle is real, my friends, the struggle is real!
My name is Lisa Marie and I am a recovering love and sex addict. This blog details my recovery and other pertinent information I choose to post. I credit my recovery and sobriety to Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. The experience, strength, and hope that I have been blessed to receive has made my recovery possible. I am beyond grateful!
