I would disagree. This is where you feel more comfortable of what they have identified. Newcomers are more confused and in the initial state. Plenty more questions and reactions. I have seen people solve their marriage on this thread. See Newcomers OP is usually already involved. It is the first wave hence the name newcomers.
Now what I am thinking is what to do different as Michele suggests. That is what to do when/if I get back to up.
Fair point, most of us in Newcomers are in a bit of disarray
There is certainly plenty of good advice & comfort from looking at long term scenarios in this forum.
