I don't post much,but will give you my take. I am a MLC'er who made it through. You must hit rock bottom to begin the process of reitegrating yourself backinto life as a normal healthy functioning human being. I don't think all MLC'ers are capable of allowing themselves to hit bottom but instead keep running or hiding from there appointment with there destiny to become a more peaceful person.
I remember the exact place i was when i hit rock bottom. Being in MLC is the most painful frustrating emotional experience I have ever had in my life. At the same time it was the most rewarding. That is only because I made it through. I personally know many who have not. Now that I am through its easier to see this in people.
Unfortunately i am now dealing with an MLC/WAW. I get to see the other side first hand. It is no fun on this side either but no where near as painful going through it.
