Thanks for all the feedback folks. I read every one of the posts a couple of times to make sure I am prepared for the few days. Yes, reading the book helped, but also letting go of the fear of the final outcome also helped.
I realize it took me waaaayyy too long to get here, but I finally made it. We all know I have difficulty staying with things for more than a day or two, but now that I have finally come this far, I refuse to slide back.
As for the vacation, I have a new mindset. I am going to a great resort to enjoy the weather etc, with my kids and their mother. That's it.
