Phoenix Spark, I didn't mean to sound so discouraging but my point was pretty much what you said, we have to sit down and take stock. My personal experience is but mine, I share it for what it is worth. Being Me has to decide at some point how she wants to approach the sitch, I found having no plan meant no hope! I encourage her to look for hope but also recognize if there is none. As you said, it also may mean being able to accept those dry spots for a while too. But there is nothing anti-DB about knowing when you've reached your limit. Hey, I hung in for 3.5 years I'm not someone out there screaming "quit" everybody, I say get a plan, it kept me going!!! Sorry, if I sounded too negative.
