The first problem I ran into was, I didn't want to do it. However, if I want to get better I need to do it. Brushing my teeth isn't on the top of my list of fun things to do, but if I don't do it, I'll be toothless. The successes are, the more you do it, the easier it gets and then you wonder why you had a problem with it in the first place. What I've learned is that even if you run or avoid, you can always do a "do over" and try again (the sooner the better) and just be patient with yourself. I know it's hard not to get frustrated, but it is well worth the effort in working toward the goal of being cured. One day, it will click, maybe today's the day.
