Thanks for showing up guys (and gal).

Just an update on my situation. Had the phone session with Jennifer last night...got a plan now. But it seems pretty obvious to myself and Jennifer that if WW does not follow her plan 100% (narrow path), there is pretty much no hope of any chance of recovery. It's pretty hard for me to depend on WW to make this thing work...very hard. I will do my part, and follow my plan...I guess the rest is up to her.

And that's all any of us can do. We can't do it for someone else.

If we take care of what we need to take care of, and leave the rest in God's hands, we can at least know that we did not shirk our responsibilities and have left nothing undone to prevent recovery.

But we're just 50% of the equation and to try to be more means we have to let some of our half slip, because we can't do it for them and if we try, we are actually pushing in where we do not belong.

I must admit that as good as the session was, there was a pretty bad storm going on during the last 10-15 minutes and I couldn't quite make sense of some of what Jennifer was asking me to have prepared for the next meeting (stupid cell phones). She was saying that I should write down some questions for WW. But as she went into explaining how to ask them, and what to avoid, I could not make out what she was saying. Note to self : no more cell phone sessions.

Anyone who has done the phone sessions, or any sessions for that matter, can you maybe help with some insight on how to prepare the questions? I'd hate to not be prepared for the next session. If you have done this before.

Add one more to the list! Found MB just in time to save myself some grief but too late to do any good with the WW.

Been there and trying to get my mileage out from the sessions ... mine about $2.00 /minutes back then. I was with SH though not JcH. Never been asked like that.

Next meeting is join sessions w/ WW

Depending on how WW's court session goes tomorrow (and NC order is lifted), we may be doing a session together next week as well.

We could make an exception for Mel since she has busted more WH's balls than just about anyone.....HAHAHAHAHA

Besides, I'm not stoopnid enough to tell her what she can and cannot do. She is an angry Texan with a gun after all.

ROFLMAO I wanted to say that, I really did. But I live only a couple hundred miles from Mel and I choose to remain silent. So why say something now? I worked up the fortitude to say that she qualifies through owning a set of cajones she got by attitude instead of by genetics.

OK, I qualify as a BH.

Here's a question for the group.

Have any of us found all the pieces of our testicles since d-day?

Whether recovered and happy or not we are a little less than what we were.

And on that happy note, lets keep this party going! cool
