Thank you for returning and giving us an update. You are so right about continuing to DB, 180s and GAL. Your marriage is a new one and that means both of you have had the opportunity to rediscover each other, as well as make the changes that were necessary for this new relationship to work.
All I can say is "A job well done". Keep up the good work and when you feel yourself slipping into old habits, stop and turn around and do something different.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
