Candy, there's such a loving, caring heart behind your difficulty with obsessiveness. You've been so much appreciated for that & it's why you will be so sadly missed.

What a courageous person you are to go totally 'cold turkey' in giving up something that means so much to you.

There's nothing worse than well-meaning people like me giving advice. But it is possible to turn obsessiveness around so that you use it to prevent your life being 'taken over' by certain actions.

And you're clearing the decks of your time on PetTalk so that you can make that fresh start. Bless you for your good sense & strength. You might be gone (for only a while, I hope) but you will not be forgotten. I admire you very much.
