I'll admit, I'm sunk. I just have to play - - Music before Breakfast!

I didn't know how bad I was until I finally hit bottom and sunk a whole bunch of non-existant plastic money into a new Martin guitar! Do you think I'll ever get to Step 9 where I have to write or talk to and apologise to everyone that I've hurt by my musicolism? Lordy, I hope so. Help!
