Ok I just got the program in the mail today and I can't wait to get home and use it. I need for this to work, I don't know how much longer I can take living like this, I feel like I am going crazy. I've been reading the sucess stories on here and they are my inspiration. I want to be happy and normal again, I want to be the old me. I need this to work so that I can be the wife and mother that I want to be. Please keep me in your prayers and I start this program tonight. Also from those who have used it any words of advice before I start.

Dont rush the lessons.......I did and I ended up haveing to start over again...Do the lessons at your pace and really try to apply the lessons to your daily life...Repetition, Repetition..listen a few times to each lesson at minimum...you could listen to all of the lessons in a day, but you probably wouldnt get much out of it...Also, use the relaxation CD that came with the program.. Try to use it as much as you can (even 2-3 times a day). If you have an ipod or Zune, put the CD's on that so you can take them with you. The biggest thing to remember is it takes time to change our anxious ways...dont rush it..Good Luck

Hey u seemed so pumped up in getting into the program. Thats great. I just received the program 3 days ago and the Jump start video is wonderful, it got me more excited. I feel you on wanting your old life back. This is all new to me, just started having anxiety and panic attacks last year. Before all that i was living life to the fullest. I want to be happy and normal again too. So all i can say is lets keep up the good work on the program and just believe it will work. If it has helped all those other people it will definetly help us.

You take and God Bless.

Hi! I agree with Gamer4life - go S-L-O-W. Try not to peek ahead. Focus on 1 lesson at a time. Highlight info in the workbook that "speaks" to you and feels important for your circumstances. Write notes from the lesson CDs in the workbook - review them. Listen to the relaxation tape at least 2 times a day; it will center and calm you for the day and calm you for the evening hours. Treat yourself to a special journal (for your eyes only) and journal about what you read and learn from the lessons. Most importantly, start by giving yourself a BIG pat on the back for steping up and seeking help and change. You've begun a special journey - if you're willing to do the work. The program is not a quick fix, but it does work. I started the program on August 6, 2006, and it changed my life beyond what I could've imagined. Congratulations.

That's great PaperPlate, you are in my prayers. Just like others have said, go slow and absorb each lesson. Don't try to "master" them, but let them sink in. The intro DVD was great and I started feeling better right away. Remember, this is a journey, but it will work if you give it a chance. I am on week 4 and am feeling much better, facing my fears everyday, etc. Good luck. Keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
