I have definitely been trying to practice what I preach. I feel that if it wasn't for the support and advice (and 2x4's), I wouldn't be where I am now.
If you would've asked me last year if I would have thought things would improve between my W and I, I would have said "no way". She was spiteful, lying, blamed me for everything, etc.
So I literally immersed myself in books. Everything from relationship/marriage books to how to read body language, forgiveness, confidence, alpha male stuff, how to pick up women, laws of attraction, MLC, etc. I've applied a little of everything to build myself back up and learn how to interact with my W.
Today we get along really well, she's at home and we're sleeping in the same bed, however with no intimacy but that will come in time.
It wasn't until I really understood that I really don't have any control over my W's feelings that I just let things go. She sees I'm becoming a better person and it's up to her whether or not she wants to join me. Do I do it for her? no. I do it for myself.
Do I backslide? sure do. But I keep praying and keep on keepin' on.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
