Lost,

Thanks for chiming in. I didn't know I inspired anybody. Your words touch me. Thanks.

I have to tell you Lost that I draw a lot of strenght and hope on faith. Everyday is an opportunity to fine tune what I failed to do previously and do it again. I learned to try and not be offended by my W's attitude or words. It's not easy at all. But then again, that's where Detaching comes into play.

You don't have to be enmeshed in all the WAS's drama. I always try to look at the good in my W and let anything else roll away. If I don't do that, I'd be a total wreck each day. I try to always take the high road and never respond by being rude or angry. I slipped many times. But no one said DBing was easy. It certainly is a test of endurance, of patience, and most importantly of Love. At least that's how I see it. If you don't love the WAS, then why keep on going?

I don't know if any of this makes sense. You know this: It's NOT easy at all. Many times I thought about quitting and stop DBing. But something tells me I can't just let it go yet. I guess that's when faith steps in. And that's really all I have...It's too easy to quit. You quit once, you'll quit at anything. I have to believe that miracles do happen. Sorry for the lenghty post. Thanks Lost for the kind words. I hope you won't quit either. Keep posting.

Joel
