There is a line I know, that I have known for a long time.
The line is the invisible line.
I don’t know when I crossed it, but I know I did.
And once I am across the invisible line, I can only look back. And decide if I want to go back.
And that’s when I know I am done. I am over it.
I am beyond it. I know I am well when:
I would not go back even if I could.



I really like this thought. The idea of “knowing that you will never go back over that invisible line.” Surely puts a spin on the process of healing from abuse (men or substance). Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
I keep coming back to this post and reading it and thinking I should say something else because what you see and how your seeing it is very different than how I see it and intended.
Not that how you see it is right or wrong.
The way I see it is that the most important words are “even if I could.”
perhaps this might mean I would go back to drinking and I COULD but have grown into some other level of my self that now has the free choice capable of making that decision. alcoholics active in their addiction, do not have the choice, they’ve lost the power of choice.
or perhaps I left an old lover that left me and I thought I would die……..and years later had the opportunity to go back and resume the relationship………I have now grown to a place I would not go back even if I could.
