Hmmmm.  Things did eventually settle down.  I didn't "stay at my 
job".  I didn't "grow up".  I didn't "find and marry a retired 
lawyer".  I didn't "take up golf".  I didn't "join a church to find a 
partner".  I didn't "move to Florida". I did lots of other non 
approved things.  Now, without attachment, I am free to love much 
more than before.

I respect all processes of recovery, especially the eccentric ones.
