Hmm - I think i'm quoting Peter McKenna there - you don't stay still in your health; if you're getting worse, you need to turn that around and go the other way.
of course, the whole lesson was, as the tree leans, so it falls; and the chances that "the worst sinner" would be able to turn around right before he/she died are very small, so make the best of your time now. that's why it's important to get into therapy & not wait around till mid 50s, like I did......
