I started this poll so newbies can get a better idea as to what they can expect once they end their affairs. We all deal with emotional pain differently, but I'm interested in seeing if there is any time period that is more consistent than others.

It took 6 weeks for me to get out of the deepest of the sh*t, and now at week 8, I'm feeling very grateful and hopeful. No longer missing xAP, only sometimes feeling very lonely -- and the realization of how close I came to losing my family and the full awareness of how icky I behaved (Christmas Day, it hit me hard), is when I snapped out of it. Bam! hit me like a frying pan upside the head. Hard to wallow in selfpity after that. For me, the steps forward were like JUMPS.... slogging along with what seemed like no progress, then Wowzers - big jump forward. Thank God.
