Thanks for the advice gents! Much appreciated.
It did feel like the program was forcing me to learn something about myself, or break down, as you put it, limiting beliefs. I have a feeling that will come back again.
For the most part, stage 1 seemed to be about being happier and more comfortable in my own skin. I went into the darkness for a few days, but I'm out of it, for now. I have a feeling that SM will be more like a roller coaster ride, whereas AM was like I was shedding skin.
A few positives I've noticed thus far: I feel that same kind of joie de vivre I had as a 16-17 year old, which is nice. I used to be really judgmental about myself when it came to socializing, that seems to be on the wane, I feel much free'er to socialize now. And, I get a kick out of flirting, where I used to feel embarrassed.
All in all, I feel pretty good.
