Alex, thanks for responding. I hate to sound like I'm whining, but it's just really frustrating after battling the same battles for over thirty years. I want to make sure I read you right. Are you saying try just the generator without the other four steps cd's for a week? I'll give it a shot, but it could easily be the same story. I've had the Holosync cds for over a year, and I can't even manage to listen to them for a week at a time. The same stuff that seems to physically keep me from doing something applies to even sitting there and listening. God, I see myself writing this and feel like such a loser. I can't help but feel like there's something wrong with me. It seems like I'm just a wimp with no discipline. Ugh. I'm ranting. Sorry. Thanks for the thoughts.
