    Wildfire, these things take time. Sounds like no consolation, but when you look back, you will appreciate this. We have all been through the same thing. And many wish we could go back and start again.

    Welcome to the board. It takes alot of courage to begin to post. Take it slow, allow others in, take the time to heal. I also was married to someone who still partakes of the emblems. That in itself has its own dynamics. Welcome and keep coming back.

    Welcome! Welcome! Baby steps are a good thing. You have to take baby steps to learn how to walk. I you just started running with what information you are learning, you would never really come to a full understanding of it. You will be just fine. Reasure yourself every day and tell yourself everyday that you are doing the right thing. I was still attending meetings when i was starting to disect the information, and i finally got to a point that i couldnt even sit through a meeting anymore because it made me sick. One day at a time is all you can work with, and like i said before, tell yourself you are doing the right thing. It takes time to reprogram. I'll keep you in my prayers. It will be allright. You are among many people who will help you get through this. We've all been where you are right now.
