I know rather certainly that the urge to dress up will not get rid of me.
I am now trying to outwit the woman inside me.
I force myself to dress up whenever there is an opportunity, even when I totally don't feel like it.
The first results are: it's starting to make me more tired than attracted to it.
I'm sitting right now in a dress and makeup, so much so I'd like to go back to the male option, but decided: only before bed.
Betty, I tried a similar approach some years back. I decided to dress for at least 15 minutes every day whether I felt like it or not. I kept at it until I got a recognizable result. Did it stop my cross dressing? No. But what it did do was something very good from my perspective.

It changed my experience of crossdressing from a compulsion, something out of my control, to a habit, something very much in my control. This took away a lot of guilt and anxiety. A definite net improvement in my life.

Feel free to PM me if you want to go into this in more depth.
