hi, i'm michael. i ordered the cds/dvds a month ago, but just started this morning . . . i wanted for my semester to finish before beginning the program.
i've known about attacking anxiety for years, and god, i hope it works. i am a former pro musician (nashville) who, because of paxil and various other meds (i've been on librium/valium/klonopin and all the other benzos since 1989), lost interest in music. i'm currently enrolled in college again, and honestly? i didn't think i was going to make it through the semester....it's getting that bad.
panic attacks, social phobia, anxiety, mood swings...you name it, i've got it. and what really pisses me off is that i've got SO much to offer, and i'm simply settling in life now. i'm settling for things i don't want, my world has gotten too small (i don't travel anymore, i have no close friends anymore...i simply shut everyone out because the panic won't let me deal with things), and i'm angry or anxious all the time.
after listening to session 1, i related to the speakers . . . i KNOW it's not impossible, and i truly think these problems can be overcome.
anyway, sorry for the novelette; just wanted to say hi to everyone, and that i'm really looking forward to getting my life back where it used to be.
hello to everyone

Hi Michael. Sounds like you're contributing to your life in more ways than you know. Completing a semester in college is a major victory (even more so when you're suffering from anxiety/panic). I'm so happy that you found this Program. I started in February - am close to finishing - I worked on a couple of the sessions more than once - and I've got to tell you, my faith in God, my determination to overcome, and the awesome support this Program offers has brought me back to a place of peace and understanding. I can't tell you how grateful I am and how much I'm expecting the same thing for you. Keep the faith and stay the course. Laura
