Thank you Craw, my regularly scheduled life just went into the flu! Come on now, I know the weather is colder up north but I really didn't want the flu when I got back home. Been out of it for 2 days now and think I'm starting to at least feel human again. That mustang is still waiting and there is NO way I'm going to miss it.
T-Twins: Thank you and part 2 of this journey will be starting on thursday, just this one is a little rougher than the one before, not in terms of me, but for dad. But we'll take that on one day at a time and deal with whatever come. I'll keep everyone updated as much as possible on a Part 2 of the Journey thread.
Karilynn: I went through days that you are talking about, where everything felt like it was to much to handle but by using the program and common sense that I carry with me all the time, I got through those days and moved on to the next one. It takes practice practice practice but, as has been stated many times over, we didn't get this way in a day and it will take a little time to retrain ourselves to the 'new me'. You will make it just don't beat yourself up on bad days.
otiscolake: Brave not to sure about that word, but driving myself as hard as I could to overcome this junk/anxiety that I did. Thank you.
deedee00: Hi there! Yes I'm keeping it 'going' by doing it 'slow and easy'. Still after four days after part one of the journey and I have a zero anxiety level. Part 2 is coming up and if everything goes right, and hoping with everything I have it will, I'll definitly enjoy the next round too.
To all, I don't know really what to say, you all are amazing people each with a different outlook on life but you all will come through and stand where I stand today.
I will tell you this and it's something that I am having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to, nothing bad, just I lived so long with anxiety & panic attacks I'm having a little trouble adjusting to not having any. My hands, used to shake a little at times and I got used to it, adapted and went on but now they are rock steady, no shaking at all and it's a different feeling. I don't have to adjust for the shaking anymore. I see people in a different light as well - the negativity of some literally turns me off nowdays and if nothing else I walk away from them as fast as I can go instead of 'hanging around'....different is all I can say.
I had a huge fear of water, now I go out in it and don't think anything about it except it's clear, beautiful, and a pleasure to touch. See now without anxiety I'm learning step by step what it's like to really be alive but one thing I'll always carry with me, I won't forget what it was like before and with all the years of that maybe I can help someone somewhere get to where I'm at.
Ok, for now, another round of cold medicines are due, whoopie..worlds greatest avoider of any type of meds here, and need to get it in me so I'll feel better before part 2 of the journey starts. Take care everyone!

WooooooHoooooo. This thread also brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you. I am also feeling like I am way less in my head and way more into life and boy....does that feel good. To those of you reading this that haven't gotten there yet...it will come.....last June I was like Lucinda's commercial...too afraid to live and too afraid to die. It super sucked. I feel more like David now. So many things that I was scared of I WANT to do. I could care less about the anxiety...it wont hurt me. Once you really believe that the paradox of that is it will become less and less a part of you. Thanks for this thread David. This might sound korny but it feels like I am at a concert and they are playing my favorite song...you just want to jump up, raise your arms and say wooooohhhoooooo!!!

David, I just started this program for the second time. I've been dealing with panic/anxiety attacks for 6 years..but last February they came back with a vengeance..last time I ordered the program..I didn't follow it step by step..so I didn't get the full potential ..this time I'm starting again and It's so wonderful to hear that there is a light at the end of this anxiety/panic attack tunnel ..your story is inspiring..Right now I'm afraid just to drive down the block..I can't imagine the freeing feeling you are experiencing right now..but now it gives me hope that there is an end to this..I have so many dreams and aspirations..I love to sing and play the piano..but my fears have been stopping me from even leaving my house to visit my brother..who only lives 10-15 minutes away..and I fear even driving my daughter to school..which is maybe 5 minutes away from my house..much less to conquer my aspirations..It's so great to hear from someone who has gotten through this spiralling nightmare called anxiety..Thanks so much..LeeAnn

Thank you so much David for sharing one of the most precious experiences in your life! The experience that not only changed your life but touched mine and opened many doors that I closed due to panic/anxiety. Your courage, wisdom, and love that you have for your mom and dad empowered you to be set free.....WOW I sit here with tears of Joy and I know I will never know if I could do something unless I try. ITs amazing what we can accomplish if we just try....
Blessings to you always...
