Divorce Detox: Divorce has a bright side: the opportunity to restart your life. As you detox and heal, you may discover a better version of yourself than you have ever known. Here are some benefits to being one adult:

• It's easy to get a table in a busy restaurant (or sit at the bar). 
• You can listen to any music and sing out loud. 
• Your time is your own. 
• You can take as long as you want in the bathroom. 
• You're on your own schedule. 
• You have the opportunity to talk to strangers. 
• There's no influence of another opinion. (You get to know you.) 
• There's no compromising. 
• Conversation is replaced with reading, thinking, writing, etc. 
• It's cheaper. 
• You can stay or leave ... it's up to you. 
• People are generally more friendly to someone who's alone. 
• There's no small talk necessary. (Many couples don't talk, anyway.)
• Losing your way leads to more adventure. 
• There are no expectations. 
• You're only accountable to yourself. 
• It increases self-reliance and trust.
