Welcome JBL. Lots of good advice here, I'd simply add that it takes as many times as you'd like it to. You have the power and choice to make TODAY be the day that it all ends. There is no pre-destined outcome, it's 100% about the choices you make.
Certainly outside support is needed, especially in all the areas we need help with and the underlying conditions. But never forget...you get to choose when it ends.
