Ruining your physical life and relationships? Oh dear. Sorry to hear that... sounds like you were throwing yourself at this too hard if it got to the point where it was being detrimental to other areas of your life.

I haven't had a consciously induced OBE, just a spontaneous one, so I understand your frustration... but I do feel that one successful OBE is worth all the failed tries, and I keep at it, in full knowledge that I'll be able to do it when I'm ready. I've come to see astral travel as the journey rather than the destination, and for now am enjoying developing a stronger energy body. I had some luck inducing projection sensations, watching my hands melt in a lucid dream (it brought me back into my body and started the exit) but the resulting discomfort of the sensations made me stop and think that energetic body development was worth the time and effort before getting too deeply into astral travel. RB makes it pretty clear that achieving an exit and consciously remembering the projection requires a delicate balance between waking and sleeping, astral and physical and that the right circumstances have to be brought about before this can happen.

Have you looked into phasing at all? A lot of beginner OBEs apparently find that method a bit easier to tackle, of traditional OBEs are proving to be too challenging. Chacun a son gout...

Good luck! Sorry it didn't work out.
