I'm glad things are improving at home with you & your wife, seriously it makes me very happy to hear it - it gives hope to alot of men who are in similar situations.

One word I'll change in the above quote, I am trying, just change that to I am reversing the spiral now. Don't say try, don't use try, don't think about trying. Trying is ok in a limited sense but trying also implies failure along the way. I'll try but I'm probably going to screw up & fail again - on both a conscious and subconscious level, it means failure.

You are succeeding. When a person does something instead of trying something, they say, I'm going to do this, even if I fall down a thousand times along the way, the 1001st I will succeed because I am doing this, no matter what.

Change the lingo, change the perspective and you end up changing the direction.

Believe in yourself bro, you will succeed!
