Quote: JJ could we possibly have people's thread's listed that have successfully DB. On one thread, something like this. It would be nice to go back and read their whole story.
Or would it be too much work?
Just a thought.
It would be nice in piecing section?!

And a great thought it is! I would LOVE to see a thread like that. I'll get one started!
However, "I" ain't gonna be the one to list these stories out!! I think that it's best to let each person do so on their own.
My thoughts behind this lay in the fact that each person has their own different perspective of what "success" is. Sometimes, it can mean small steps happening that lead towards progress in the relationship. To others, it might be a "final result".
For instance, if you were asked to rate your relationship on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the absolute pits, and 10 being absolutely wonderful, how would you have rated it before, how would you rate it now, and what "rating" would it take for you consider yourself to be a "success"? Would it take being a "10" to get you there, or would raising from a "4" to an "8", doubling your satisfaction, make yourself feel "successful"?
I, personally, see MANY success stories here on a daily basis that others tend to overlook. Especially those of us who are directly involved in the situation.
To be honest with you, I can't always consider my marriage to be a "success" when it comes to the "wine and roses" definition, with things being exactly where I would like them to be.
However, if I look at the "success" of our relationship as being a "process, not an event", I can see that some of the things we are doing now, things that we are "doing different" to have a more loving relationship together, will help make the "10" on the scale a great possibililty. One worth waiting for through the "4's and 6's and 8's"!
These are some GREAT successes for everyone so far!!
Don't be humble , keep 'em coming!!
