[WHERE DO I STAND....?]

Dang, I thought I'd replied here but I see I didn't. It seems you're doing well, but as this varies so wildly among us I have to wonder why you seek to know how well you're doing? If you're giving something your best shot that is all you can do, and that rates as A+ 100%. Nobody can do anything more than relate their own experiences, and we ain't you so that is relevant only in a general way. I was "helped along" with some of my incontinence being from physical problems (what they now call "mixed incontinence") which made it easier for me than it is for most. And the totality is questionable with me- I can exert some control successfully some of the time though it is never assured or long-lasting. And I rarely wet in my sleep.

Just do your best to get to wherever you want to go in life- with enough time and effort you'll probably get there And even if you never get there totally, you're always going to be closer than you were when you started with hope for more progress to come

hey! thank you for the kind words! after my little hissy fit of last night, i'm glad i'm still getting responses. ??

comparisons are just natural to me. like most things i feel there's some 'average baseline' of progress, knowing that we're dealing with the human body and everyone is different, there are still probably going to be some established 'steps'. possible wishful thinking, but that's me too. i'm the type that not JUST --believes-- in miracles, i RELY upon them!???

[WHERE DO I STAND....?]

i have to say i'm very disappointed.

so far ONLY TWO [which i'm very thankful for] on topic responses, and after one post which totally ignores my request and the rest just bad jokes.

i hate to sound snotty, but damn, mine was a genuine request for information on a possible major change in my life, and this community was one i was expecting such a question as i proposed to be taken seriously. i was prepared for delayed responses, but totally unhelpful responses, no.

THANK YOU, again, for those that did help me. and i'll check back from time to time in the hopes of more serious responses, but i really don't feel too welcome. ?

[WHERE DO I STAND....?]

i started this account on the advice of my mommy to tap into the groupmind of where i stand with my voluntary return to incontinence.

any help/feedback will be appreciated. what i will do is give you fine folks a list of what i'm doing/have done,

and based on that, perhaps give me a percentage on how close i am to becoming incontinent. so:

- i can pee and/or poop sitting [and in car], standing, laying down, while walking

- i dribble often and regularly at the very least in the morning. for some reason i usually stop dribbling in the afternoon and evening. HOWEVER i have begun to dribble occasionally all day

- completely comfortable with wetting myself. not crazy about pooing myself, but..... it's part of regression.?

- last week, i wet the bed once. haven't since, though i've come close. i've woken, wet, changed and went back to sleep maybe twice, but since, i've had dry mornings. also have drank at least 8oz of water before bed the last few nights, and still 'dry mornings'. ?

- usage: i go through about 100/month. amazon has a great buy on Tena classics, i think, anywhere from $37 - 45 per case of 100. so far i'm about to start my 6th case, so i'm about 6 months in. to go along with this, i'm pretty uncomfortable OUT of diapers. if i have to wear regular undies, i'm anxious until i can shed them to get back into my didees. mommy is on the verge of stopping my return to big girl undies.

so..... that's basically where i stand. is 6 months good for what i've accomplished so far? what's my grade, percentage-wise for overall effort? any tips for improvement?

looking forward to any feedback, and thank you in advance for all help/consideration!
