First Day on the Program
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:58 am
Hi , my name is Greg.
I have done Day 1 of the Program and just wanted to introduce myself. I am from Melbourne Australia and 59 years old, I have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks, self doubt, self conscience and it goes on and on for probably 50 years. I have really associated all that has been talked about by Lucinda Bassett regarding the worry and negative thoughts and it is encouraging that even after all these years that there may be help and that this Program could work. I have dealt with my problems through my adult life with alcohol, there has been no social situation that I would not use alcohol to excess to try and deal with my shyness and anxiety with me thinking that everyone is looking at me and just waiting for me to embarrass myself, sad really. These problems stop me from feeling comfortable in social situations therefore I drink. I want to stop using alcohol and just be myself, unfortunately the anxiety has ruled my life to date and I am really excited and live in hope that this program could be the answer. Looking forward to getting the help that I need to improve my confidence around people, if there is anything you can comment on to help please do, cheers Greg
