Ok, I don't know if you caught my "modified" GAL thing in the middle of my monster post on my thread, but if not, here's the important part in terms of you.
GAL is more than just going out, it's about learning to LOVE life again, and not just the part that is occupied by your W and kids. It's about learning to enjoy the things YOU ALREADY do and not have them tainted by the crap in your marriage.
GAL is not just playing poker with the guys, but playing to win and having a GREAT time doing it. It's about taking the kids to the park and enjoying it more than ever before.
GAL is about falling in love with YOUR life, as it exists because YOU are deciding what to do with it.
In that respect, GAL is SO much more than simply staying busy, it's about staying positivly occupied planning your life for YOUR sake.
