Is this what happens when you let go of the rope and fall to the bottom of the abyss?
D - I think when everyone first comes to the board they don't really understand the concept that there are no quick fixes. It really is a marathon and you have to pace yourself. I also think that a lot of people come here thinking that their sitch is different or they are still in denial with what has occurred. As time goes on though we gradually start to accept what has happened, realize that there is a high probability that they are not coming back, and then people truly find out what they are made of. I believe it is at that juncture when people either push on through, and really start doing things for themselves, making lasting improvements or they backslide from their hard earned changes, stop posting, and then you never know what happens to them.
So it may not be the Abyss but you could be starting to feel reality set in and potentially some acceptance.
