This is great to read and the absolute truth...once you have worked the steps and found out more about yourself, the realyou that is etc you will be in a much better position to be able to tackle any outstanding 'issues'...well issues i mean support for the adjustment period to your new normal life, e.g. a counselor to talk to about stuff:-)
