Seeing Wonderful Progress

Hello Everyone,

I am on week 10 of the program. I know I am learning a ton from it. I just realized that I had not had a panic attack since July 4th, which only got to a level 3 before I stopped it. I also noticed when I started to "what if" my worrying, I stopped myself and saved it for my worry time and wrote out a solution. I finally feel as if I am now in control of my life in a good way, not an anxious-filled say. I know this program is definitely working for me, because I have forgotten to take my meds. My doctor is ready to take me off the medicine, which has been my goal for the last several years.

I am feeling fantastic. So anybody with doubts about the program, it does work and it has given me a new life. It takes work, but it is worth every minute of time you give it.

That is great to hear. I just started session 9 although I have been taking my time so I am way behind probably most that started when I did. But it's worked for me this way.

I have to tell a success story too. A couple of weeks ago my husband called me while I was grocery shopping to tell me our daughters vehicle had been broken into in Chicago where she lives, 4 hours from us. To make a long story short a few days later he mentioned to me that he didn't understand why I wasn't more upset about the incident. Because of course for 25 years he was used to me becoming a mess over something like this. I had to laugh because although I was concerned and of course talked to my daughter and helped get the insurance company involved and everything I didn't overreact and I didn't let it ruin my weekend or mood. I remember after hanging up the phone that night in store I said a silent prayer that it was only her car and she wasn't hurt and it's only a car and it can be fixed and in the end it happened and there wasn't a thing I could do to change it. Needless to say my husband was surprised but pleased to hear me say those things and how logically I viewed the whole thing. My biggest surprise was that I really didn't think about my reaction it just happened which mean it's becoming a part of me. I can't tell you how exciting that feels.

klkroy, Congratulations to you. Changes are happening, it seems you just don't realize it until its pointed out. My husband and son recently told me that I have definitely changed, I am more calm, less agitated and more confident. Who knew what ten weeks could do when it has taken me at least 20 years to try and fix it myself. I wish you continued success.
