You don't have to get a D until you are ready. You can make your W feel the reality without getting a D. Read up on detachment and GAL. I read detachment all the time. I used it as a guideline. Read Sandi's 37 rules. You also have to practice them. Do 180s. Use them and see which one's work for your sitch and which one's doesn't.
Onward and forward
