Thank you to everyone who responded. You have all given me more inspiration to slow down and work on my game. I am the type of person who likes to get right in there and see results and I guess that is why I get down on myself. I have all of these books:
Getting Started In Hold Em
Small Stakes Hold Em
Hold Em for Advanced Players
The Psychology of Poker
The Theory of Poker
Ken Warren's Texas Hold Em

I'm currently reading Small Stakes Hold Em and will continue to read that. I'm going to jump back to the Getting Started in Hold Em book and go from there. I am also looking into an investment into PokerTracker, which I hear so much about. I'm not one to count my own hands so having something else do it will probably help me out tremedously.

Thanks again for the help and if you could still give me your experiences from the beginning, that would be great.
