So keep hope, but more than anything BE patient. So many LBSs get impatient and give up on DBing. We recently had a poster here that insisted he knew better, started to do things that undermined his progress (and he had made great progress with DBing techniques), and the results were not good.
Hope is a powerful motivator and that is why I disagree with those that say that hope prevents them from DBing. Hope is what motivates most of us to keep DBing even in the face of evidence that suggests we should have no hope. But hope has to be coupled with patience, or the LBS is doomed to produce what they fear most and to be miserable while they go through it.
Steve,
Thank you. I am trying to let go completely without losing hope but it's a constant struggle. I'm putting all of my faith in trust in God to bring me out of this, and I appreciate how so many people on this board, yourself included, approach these situations with such strong faith. It makes it easier for me to relate your situations to mine.
