is it possable to win at limit holdem?

[chrisyt]

Well i've been swatting hard at this poker thing for quite some time, from most angles and one of two things are happening.
1) i'm making other players rich (fine by me)
or
2) i'm making the casinos rich (well so long as it's fun)

I thought this poker was going to be an easy game to master, seems it is not!

How long does anybody think/suggest it takes to actually get to a stage where one can get to a break even point. I'm beggining to think its not possable.
i'm playing very low stakes, no point in playing higher stakes till am more confident.

question is, is it possable?

if so does it take years to get to break even?
