Db was the best thing to ever happen to me and this forum. I would never be where I am today.
Over the last few years, I've though about finding DB during my first D. I was searching for essentially the opposite of DB, and I found those resources first. I wanted to figure out how to fix it, to correct the problems. It was pursuit of the highest order. And it kept me emotionally tied and dragged for months. Worst 3 months of my life, and it's not close. I wonder what I would have done without finding DB. Would I have figured it out on my own to some degree? Maybe/probably. Who knows how long that would have taken.
And I am even more thankful now to have it. A second BD from a second W. I was logged on to DB within 10 minutes of DB. My recovery is months ahead of D#1. Just further proof how valuable this practice is.
So, I agree wholeheartedly. Thank God for DB, this forum and the vets and LBS's that create this community.
Someone on one of your earlier threads told you, "Someday you'll look back at this time as your finest hour." That was one of the first things I read when I came back to DB a few weeks ago. It reminded me that that's exactly how I felt about my first DB experience. Over the last 9 years, I have looked back on the entire thing so fondly, even the painful months. Keep it up and you'll feel the same.
