2old - congrats on the job! I love the Smokeys, may be going there with my kids in a couple of weekends.
I haven't been dark, but have cut back much contact; it's hard, and I empathize with you. Like you, I was a little curious about WAW, and for the last few weeks, I honestly thought W has happy, partying, lots of new friends, and living large. I found out she is broke, sits at home most of the time, and isn't happy at all, but it still didn't change her mind.
But you sound good - I really feel like you're starting to get over that "hump". My best to you!
