I have the exact same dilema, The hardest thing for me is wondering how I'll react to comments about How well I'm doing and how am I doing it? I'd feel kind of like I'm betraying them.. UGH.. the angel on my shoulder!!
I hadn't thought of what linesj said.. that I might find support where I hadn't thought of before.. that's a good point. I dunno.. I still haven't decided, I'm only taking a few days off of work and have only confided in my immediate supervisor and one of my coworkers who is also considering the same thing.. One thing that I'm afraid of like Rachel is being judged like I can't do it myself and I'm taking the easy way out.. but when I think of that.. my response is.. well if it was easy.. I wouldn't be this way right? Everyone has their vice.. food is mine and I feel that deciding to get the band is me finally admitting that I have a problem and I'm going to deal with my addiction. Instead of being judged I should be commended!! haha..
Good Luck Rachel in whatever you decide, I'll be interested to see what you decide!
