Thanks for the support Denver and Starsky. I very much appreciate your advice, and I truly feel that I'm progressing better now than I was a few weeks ago.
Starsky, you're 100% right... I can write and write and think and think forever, and literally nothing will change until I take action.
I think my biggest dilemma right now is the timing of the action... Do I go ahead and take the action now, via phone... Or wait it out until I see W in person sometime next month? I know that's a decision only I can make, and at this moment, they're weighing 50-50.
The good news, I suppose, is there is no part of me that is willing to continue along this "wait and see" path for much longer. I know my action plan, I know it's going to be a tough road, but I KNOW that no matter what comes of it, I will be a better man by taking this action.
Thanks again guys for your help, advice, and for just being here to say hey. It means a ton!
