Mozza (13) + Links to success stories

[Mozza]

Thanks everyone. I'm very happy to hear that so many of you see the success in this. If we think that our only option in life is to be with a specific person, then we have a problem. I very much wanted to be with WW, but I've adapted to the circumstances and now I don't want to be with her anymore. On the other hand, I'll be with myself forever, so I better nourish this relationship.

I don't hang out much around here over the Holidays because I remember the pain that they bring. I'm sorry I can't be of more support. What I can say is what you already know: it gets better. These are my second Holidays and I haven't had any overwhelming sadness. A pinch here and there, but really not much. No crying at all. I remember that it didn't bring me much solace to know this, so I'll just stop here, and tell all of you that I think about you and your legitimate sorrow. May it get better sooner than later.

I will no longer update the success stories. I don't spend enough time around here to keep on top of them, although I'm sure they keep on happening. Also, they are quite a bit of work to put together and even to update. I hope some of the moderators will consider recycling or updating them. My next conversation will be in the "Surviving the Big D" forum.
