OB, not sure forgiveness is analogous to acceptance. I think you can accept your fate and still hold your WAS accountable for their decisions. That is where I was, thought I also heaped a lot of blame on myself. Unlike many of the LBSs here, I was an absolute lousy H leading up to BD.
Elbereth, many posters use the board to journal. I think that is a good approach. I'd like to see the LBSs that struggle, journal on the board, but despite repeated efforts to get them to they still resist. But the ones that do use the board as a journal seem to do much better in advancing through their sitches.
