You are asking about how to change your behavior. You might want to learn a bit about behavior therapy. Here is a basic introduction:
About Behavior Therapy | Psych Central
Behavioral Therapy
It is possible to make adjustments that will last, but it takes time, patience, and persistence. Start with whatever seems easiest to change, reward yourself when you handle something well, take the time to see that the initial change(s) you are working on are pretty solidly in place, and go from there. Expect that there will be setbacks and don't beat yourself up over them or let them make you waver. Just carry on and try again.
You can do it! This part of life can be better for you and for your family.

Thank you Bill. I appreciate the literature, and kind words. I found it interesting that new behavior can be taught. I am praying that I can start practicing on my own or until I am able to speak to someone. I'm going to spend some time tonight when everyone is sleeping reading about behavior changes.
I think this can be a good thing and it will be positive. I am just hoping that I can make it happen.
