Yes, the WAS life can be very enticing. Just remember that the point of GAL, etc is so that you can become the best version of DbD. If you don't continue to work on you then you'll just face the same problems in your next R.
But DO enjoy the new friends and new hobbies by all means! And you'll find that it becomes easier to deal with real life because you're happier and you don't need all the bad stuff, you've let go.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
