It's going to be a marathon trying to do this. I'm willing to do the work.
Slow down Drh. You are hanging on so tight, it is causing your emotions to roller coaster. You want to be even keel.
It is going to be a marathon. I'm sure you have heard the safety briefing before a flight departs?

Should the cabin experience sudden pressure loss, stay calm and listen for instructions from the cabin crew. Oxygen masks will drop down from above your seat. Place the mask over your mouth and nose. Pull the strap to tighten it. If you are traveling with children, make sure that your own mask is on first before helping your children.
The same idea applies here. You have to secure your oxygen first. Like you mentioned above, you are willing to do the work. You will discover there are no short cut to the other side of this $hit hole. Only through it. Get busy getting that oxygen mask on.
That means, learn how to be patient, detach, gain confidence, etc. Essentially become a master of self-improvement. Like anything else worth having, it takes time, and a lot of effort. You will stumble along the way. Not a big deal. Rise up, dust yourself off and keep going.
