A Rocky Road for former consecrated?

RC Is Not My Life touched a nerve with her recent post explaining how RC formation diminished her capacity to make everyday choices. Even picking out an ice-cream flavor caused her to question her faith, she states. (Click here)
I can understand how sharing her experience is therapeutic. But how does it help other consecrated, both current and former, who find themselves in the same situation? How do they overcome their paralysis of the will when facing the same choices as my eight-year-old?
Thankfully, RC Is Not My Life offers some excellent advice – again, based upon her experience – in a followup post.
(And for the record, I think RC Is Not My Life made the wrong choice. I would have chosen Rocky Road over Health Bar Crunch, which sounds like it’s made from soy milk and contains tofu. Just kidding….OUCH!)
