Glad to see you're alive and well! I've read somewhere that childhood issues can play a big role in MLC's.
I applaud you for taking the time to focus on yourself. I read a wise person's comment on someone's thread that the WAS is giving the LBS a gift, the gift of time. You have "received" this gift well. I wish I could say the same for me. But because you are doing so well focusing on yourself, it gives me inspiration and motivation to do the same!
