Hello Lonely Warrior: The Skeezyks also lives with the consequences of past actions. It all happened many years ago. There's nothing I can do about any of it now. (I've made a couple of those do-it-yourself efforts you alluded to.) It simply is what it is. So I strive to accept what is in my past... with compassion. As the 11th century Buddhist yogini Machig Labdrön said: "In other traditions demons are expelled externally. But in my tradition demons are accepted with compassion." I wish you well...
