UL: that article was really good. Without therapy the people relapse and go back to their old ways and eventually need another clean out, etc. It is like someone quitting drinking on their own-what you get is a dry drunk. I think as a society we tend to over schedule ourselves. At one point in my life when I was attending college f.t. and had 3 kids, etc I never watched tv or read a book for pleasure because I was way too busy. I made sure my kids were not over scheduled and had lots of time for free play. When people have too much to do each day they get grumpy. In semi-retirement I allow plenty of time for doing whatever I want. It makes for a better life. I do not jam pack my days.
