Thanks for the inspiring words antlers. I appreciate them immensely. I'm trying so hard. I'm still new at all of this and am still finding it extremely confusing. I've read the book and to be honest I really feel as if I need someone to walk me through this. I want to change me. I want to a better me. I am just finding it difficult to figure out what I need to do. I am not getting the whole 180 thing. I don't know for sure what acting as if is. Am I supposed to just leave him be and not talk to him period? Please help me.
