The internet is a resource and a great big search tool, to give you info to make choices, but you make the choices and sometimes there are no right choices. Just better choices, so measure you on you. I wish you could see what I see, a tremendous success.
I picked the DB philosophy 1. It matches 12 step philosophy 2. I like 180s 3. I like Sandi guidelines 4. I like the fact it is about doing what works and if it doesn't work change it, modify it 5. I believe in self determining, learning , growing 6. Tolerance and the wisdom of crowds
More than anything, I like the honesty, the respectful posts and the club rules.
I would tell you the Buddah on the road story, a weary traveller meets the Buddah and asks I am on my way to the next village, what are the villagers like. The Buddah said, "what were they like where you came from" and the traveller said 'sad, despondent and uncaring'. The Buddah said ' they will be like that where you are going'
Whether the villagers are great or no, going in believing in sadness, deonsency and lack of care won't help.
Joe you have received that which you have given on this board and with your family. Those children and young adults are your core, your family, part of your purpose.
Whatever happens with WW, there is great success and love in your life. The Joe I hear from and read about is not different from the Joe who first joined the board, he is one who has grown into his own skin.
The potential Joe as a man and father is now the actual Joe.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it has been a great privilidge to share your path in real time.
Besides the lfat lady hasn't sung yet. V
