Dangers of Despair

Hi All,

I have found that my worst enemy in my fight to change old habits is discouragement and despair.  I start with a vow and strong will and at the first slip, I beat myself up.  Does anyone have suggestions or ideas to battle that despair?  I'd love to hear any and all ideas.  Keep strong my friends and remember, Rome was built one brick at a time...  :)
