Arsene, That must have been very tough. I can only imagine the whirlwind of emotions that must have brought out in you. I won't try to dissect it for you, but I just wanted to let you know that we feel for what you must be going through.

As for 25's comment on being okay without S... Well she's certainly damn right about that... But let's not fool ourselves into thinking there's a shortcut to "get there". That's something that, I feel (and I REALLY hope I'm right about this!) simply is a byproduct of the hard work we're all doing here. The more we're able to detach, to GAL, to make our 180s completely natural, the further down the road we get.

For the very first time in my sitch, this last weekend, I had a few moments (literally, just a few moments) of "You know what? I'll be just fine without W". And of course, to balance that out, I spent a few hours being very melancholy and heavily missing W... but the fact that there were just a few moments of that though let me know that what I'm doing is working to change my mental state and dependency...

And I'm sure you will get there too if you keep on the path.

Godspeed Arsene. And I hope you feel better post-haste!
