Hi LiberatedStorm, very glad to meet you!
Its nice that a lot of us are meeting as "new users", (even though we probably would prefer not to be in a situation where we post here in the first place). This seems like a great community, and seeking for help in the first place is (I think) already a strong sign you want change, but just have not achieved it yet.
