Avanti, I know for me when I first came here...I wanted to save my M, pronto! Michelle's book made it sound so easy. Then I came here to the forum and found out it would be slow going and hard work. I'm getting a D...the one thing I never wanted. I'm willing to do the work, for me. It will take a really long time, ok. But the one thing I wanted most? Not happening.

It's really hard sometimes for me to stay positive and encouraging to others. New people show up looking for help, and I tend to avoid them because I don't want to crush their hopes and dreams. DB takes a really long time, and only seems to work for a handful of people. Yes, I'm working on me, and that's a good thing. But what I really wanted was to keep my family together.

There's obviously an element of disappointment in my thoughts regarding DB. Do you have any insights/encouragement for me to move past that? I'm seriously crying right now because I'm so disappointed.
