Hello all, I've started the program a million times but never made it past the second week because I made excuses, too much school, work, I have other things I need to do, etc...I graduated in December with my BS in Marine Science but still never dedicated myself to it. Well now I have no choice, the day has come where at 27 I have a car, one of my worst fears is driving, and I absolutely hate it with my entire being. I do fine driving, I drive perfectly but it is so stressful. Now I am kicking myself for procrastinating so long with starting and dedicating myself to the program. I don't think I'd have near as much trouble if I just stuck to it. But now I really don't have a choice, if I want to be able to comfortably drive the 4 miles to work and back (on my own without a friend leading me in their vehicle) or go to the grocery on my own (like I have always wanted to do), go to the knitting shop on my own, basically come and go as I would really like to instead of waiting on a ride. This time I'm going to make it, and maybe one day I'll be as excited about owning a car and driving as so many people around me are.

Well hey better late than never!! :) Just remember the exuses is the "old you" wanting you to stay that way. You can do it. Even if you can only spare a few minutes each day, something is better than nothing. Beleive me, I understand not having much time. I work part-time and have 3 kids... ages 11, 4 and 3. So time is not something I have much of. :) I think if you really put yourself into it and take some time each day you will be AMAZED at what you will find!! :)
