OK, i promised an update later tonight and so here it is.  i was about halfway successful.  i was definitely able to calm myself and somewhat get my mind and body under control.  i am still longing for Mistress, and still thinking of Her, but i was able to turn it down from about a 6 to about a 3 (on a 1-10 scale).  Of course it's still there at a 3.  It's always there, it never goes completely away.
