and boy, those fantasies are like ripping off a scab.

Huge congrats on your choice to head to a meeting. I know they say it's one day at a time, but really, it's one choice at a time and this time you made the right choice. I wish I could promise it gets better and in some ways, I think you know it does, but still these things can knock the wind out, can't they?
