Knowing I have GYE to 'escape' to has really been a comfort for me. When you think the entire world views relationships and pleasure as the the ultimate goal in life, you get swept into that culture. But coming here, where it's despised and praiseworthy to fight the natural urges, and to excel beyond pleasure seeking is just a breath of fresh air for me. I know it sounds cheesy, but the fact of the matter is, when I do feel I need to 'let off steam' and fall, it just hasn't had the same exhilarating, I guess you can call it, feeling or effect as it had all those years I had lost control. 

It's not the be all and end all to life's stressors. And GYE has helped me realize and, more importantly, feel that.
