My encouragement Wonderful would be to suggest to you that you are ONLY NOW really doing the hard things that have been necessary -- the strong stance.
Give it time. What you were doing, got you to where you got. What you are doing NOW, bring with it hope. Is it a guarantee? Nope. But I guarantee you that what you WERE doing, wasn't working, wasn't GOING to work, and you were losing yourself in the process.
No, this way -- this way brings HOPE, Wonderful. 'Tis the season for that stuff, too.
Trust in Him Who gave His Son to you. He does care for you, and will help you.
