"I had to come up with my own workable option - which turned out to be simply STOPPING. I still don't know how I was finally able (I'm sure some of the zealots would say it was the hand of god at work against my will, or somesuch bull) - all I know is I just stopped."

And i don't know why (though I have posited some disease-curve-cycle theories you can find elsewhere on SR; just do an advanced search with my name and the terms, "curve," "bell-curve," or "Vaillant").
