This is very difficult advice to take but I understand why the things I'm doing might be counter productive.

Yes, of course the sex/physical contact goal is far off. But again, the DR book mentions that far off goals are ok so long as you understand how to set your expectations low and notice the little things that indicate progress.

Today I have a full day alone with my kids (W works all day on Saturday) so I will focus on them and my GaL progress. Tomorrow I'm going to try the church thing discussed earlier in this thread. At some point this evening my W and I will need to discuss a few things regarding plans for the holidays and so on. I will bring up the church discussion then.

Thanks in advance for any add'l advice or encouragement you can throw my way today. It's been a very rough morning for me.
