[MLM Survivors Club] Re: ex-many-mlm's

I can really empathize. When I started MLM, I had a lot of things I
was involved in. Interesting how network marketing just eats up your
life, your spare time, your friendships, and your relationships, isn't it?

I withdrew for about 4 months after I quit ACN, and since then, I've
only slowly been getting out and having a life again. Personally, I
recruited about 10 - 12 people, and I'm not sure what to say to them.
I've tried to pay a few of them back...unfortunately, I'm not exactly
rolling in the dough right now...which is also partly due to ACN.

Everyone can be misled. Network marketing/MLM companies prey upon the
good intentions we have towards others, and our desires for ourselves.
What is important is learning from this, picking ourselves up, and
moving forward.

I, personally, really have to thank my church and pastor for helping
me through all that went on after I quit. Finding something like that
may be a good idea.
