My story is not unlike many others around here, so I will not get in depth with background. TL;DR version is that I am a lifetime "nice guy" pushover who found deadbedrooms several years ago, found TRP/MRP a few months later, thought there were some ideas I could use, but didn't ultimately swallow the pill and remained unassertive, didn't handle my shit, remained a nice guy, a pushover and downright unattractive.

About a month and a half ago, something happened that opened my eyes and showed me what I need to do. I got arrested for DWI. This is my first (and it will be my only) DWI, so the consequences will not be incredibly severe, relatively speaking. However in my state, it's an automatic 90 day revocation of your license, at least until the court date.

The immediate aftermath was an incredible display of me beating my self up, feeling sorry for my situation and constant apology. After breaking down into fucking tears in the car one day with my wife, I made a conscious decision to man the fuck up and handle my shit. It was at this point that I started digesting the sidebar. I've been through NMMG, WISNIFG, MMSLP and am working on MAP. Rational Male is next on the docket.

I am completely reliant on my wife at the moment due to the fact that I do not have a valid license. I can walk to a train station to get to work, thankfully. I had to turn down a job opportunity because it didn't have transit options. She has to take me to the store, to the bank, to any errands I may need to run. I live in a fairly small exurb with limited options within walking distance. I have begun running occasionally and plan to get back to the gym once I get my license back.

So my question to you MRP vets is how can I "handle my shit" and take the steps to become the captain of our ship if I have become completely reliant on her? Do I just keep reading for the moment and maybe handle some of the smaller things that I am able to do without the ability to drive?
