Paper, I am no more qualified than 9. He is right you have to do what works and what works for me may not work for you. I know this is not the answer you wanted. One of the vets here has doing what works in their sig line.

Please remember these are not techniques that will magically win your S back. These are techniques to improve yourself and help you deal with your sitch. Doing so may favorably impact your sitch and bust the sitch you find yourself in. There are enough success stories on this board to give me hope. Don’t loose faith in the techniques but realize they are for you. There is no magic bullet.
