WAWs or Wayward M: How to SHOW change is afoot?

I'm fully anticipating that she won't. It may in fact be the nail in the coffin. Although, I really think part of her wonders what it would be like to be with a healthy me. So, I'm going to keep my head down and get healthy.

I came up with a perfect analogy today:

Throughout my life, every time I've felt a flare up of low self-confidence or some other drama, I've run around trying to put the fire out with travel, parties, women, shopping, cross-country moves, or some other form of distraction, excitement or escape. This time, I'm just throwing extra wood on the fire. No more distractions. Just more fire. Burn it down!! And maybe, just maybe, something beautiful will come out of the ashes.
