I can tell you that there have been a number of successful DB'ers but after they R, they stop posting here. There are also those people who step away from the boards, then come on a year later to say that they've R.

I know you're looking for hope, but it really is up to you. You might be a success story or not. Just keep up your efforts and do the best you can.

Death, yet a new life.
