Today, I had to take the trash out and grabbed the car keys at same time. My son in law, helped me carry the trash out and I walked to the car, hit the key fob to unlock it and told him to get in the car. He looked at me like I was crazy. I got inside. That was my first intention. I just needed someone to be in the passenger seat when I got in drivers seat. I have not driven in over a year due to my fear of driving, prior to that, maybe a handful in the past 5 years, a couple of dozen in the past 10 years. I managed to start the car. I was shaking like a leaf on a tree in a hurricane. Told myself to breath then told the son in law to put on his seat belt. I said, I might just be backing up and pulling back in, but I have to do this. But after backing up...I drove around the parking lot and re-parked the car. I got a high five from the son in law! I love this feeling!! I love this site!! I love the support on here!! One big baby step for me today.
