Sounds like what I'm trying to do. Sounds like what I've been trying to do for over 25 years. Ok, I agree with the critics it doesn't seem to be working perfectly, but I'm getting better and better at it. I do use the support I find here though, and I need it, but other than that I rely on myself.
It seems to me that most everyone that posts here is gentle, no worries for you. Read the stickies in this section, there is some interesting information there. The peer support you'll find here is a definite plus also.
Welcome to the secular side, nice to have you here, keep posting.
