Hi Joe - I have been through the program and just recently celebrated my one year anniversary of no panic and anxiety that is appropriate. I used to worry about every ache and pain that I had.

Helpless7: Congratulations and Thank You for your inspirational story. I lived with panic and anxiety for 20 years before I decided to deal with it and not run and hide from it.
