You made a great choice coming back EE.
I totally understand that some folks choose to join current classes since folks are experiencing similar issues. And there's merit in that.
Your opportunity is to connect with a bunch of folks who are not all that far removed from where you are beginning your present journey.
So, you have the best of both worlds. Stay active! Consider committing to spending 10 minutes twice a day for the next thirty days checking in with the group. You don't need to write an essay. A simple "here!" Is fine.
This commitment will serve you well.
