@ antes8080, thank you for the reassurance... it's good to know others have been through this are creating life for themselves
it feels a bit odd trying to go after something I will enjoy and be interested in, without having to be covert about it, in case it is frowned upon, or having to pull out the Index or Wtlib before making a decision...ugh!
I had a little practice immediately after leaving the org, 'took a short course on indoor rock climbing' among other things..and took part in a national Rubic cube speed solving competition, and went to watch several London events at the Olympics Games which were held here in the UK in 2012... the freedom was overwhelming... ... time to get back on the horse... get educated and learn to enjoy life
