Point of clarification, CT1118, please? I always took the no discussing with family/friends as no discussing with your WW's family and/or friends. Are you (and the rules) saying we shouldn't be talking to OUR family and friends? That hardly seems prudent to me. You're essentially down, then, to your IC and the posters here in terms of support, and I'm not sure that's enough, at least not for many who find themselves in this crappy situation.
