To those who think this sounds great, but have no idea how the heck you are going to get there . . . just keep plugging along. Listen to the advice you are getting here, and although it may seem like you are hearing something a million times that is impossible, have faith that it is possible and one day, you WILL get it.
I remember so many times, getting great advice from vets (much of it from 25 -thank you for that, 25!) and thinking, "but, but, but . . . " Or, "huh??" Like me, you may feel like you are failing (and flailing!) again and again. That's OK. This stuff is not easy. But 25 is so right - if you DB, then no matter what happens with your M, you WILL be a better person and you WILL be happy.
Trust in the process and your own strength. They will get you where you need to be.

Your motto - "Be the person only a fool would leave" was my mantra in the early days here, it kept me going and going. Faking it til I made it. I will always be grateful
