Mcol:

The first step in solving a problem is admitting there is one. You've just done that. And while you just embarked on a thousand-mile journey, know that the first step is the most important one.

Okay, I'll let Confucius rest. ;\)

You're not an idiot. You're just hopeful. You want to believe what your W tells you. Because, historically, you've been able to do that. And just about everybody I know, in some way, resists change, 'cause it's not comfortable. Remember when I told you in the beginning stages of this nightmare that you would backslide every now and then? Well, that's all that happened. The good news is that you've found yourself in the hole -- and now, you can make the choice to stop digging.

It sets you back a few steps. But that's not important -- just forget about it. What's important is what you do from here on.

Listen, this DBing is a friggin technique. All of us would like to believe that our sitches don't fit the mold. The mold, after all, sucks. Your R (and its current issues), unfortunately, isn't so unique that it doesn't fit the mold. To that end, read and pay attention to what people are telling you -- they are not emotionally connected to your sitch and can give you a lot of very credible, objective information.

This website will only be a godsend if you allow it to be.

See you over in Infidelity when you move there.
