Hello There

Damia, 
Welcome to the program and support group.  This is a great program and so is the sister site for depression. They have both helped me a great deal.  Once I understood the problem and had the tools I needed to work on it I started to see a lot of improvement in myself.  I am sure you will too.

Accomplishments and other Postive Things

Today I finally finished planning a trip to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, USA. This will be a fun trip and a exposure trip too. Yes the words fun and exposure in one sentence, but very true. We will not be traveling with the travel trailer this time so there will be more exposure involved. The trailer is like having a house to escape to. The temperatures will be in the 100's on our drive there so we will be staying in hotels this time because of the heat. We will have to eat out more but will be taking a ice chest with us for our veges and stuff. Eating out and crowds means exposure.   Anyway I am really excited about this trip and exposure to see Gods Country. Thats what I call it.  It will be beautiful and we will get a lot of spectacular photographs. I cried when I saw the Grand Canyon in person. This is going to be even more moving.  This is a reward for all the progress I have made with my Acrophobia and for quitting nicotine for 1 month.  This is kind of a celebration of my new found freedom.  My partner and I leave tomorrow morning. I have lots of packing to do now. Take care everyone. 
Till next time.

Why People Eat When They Are Not Hungry?

Thanks for the positive response. I choose to remember them just the way the were.  Just beautiful and positive dreams, kind of a escape.  I think dreams are a very positive escape.  How about you????

Your Dreams

I had a dream of going to Bryce Canyon National park in Utah and I am here doing it.  It is beautiful here. It is green and the rock formations are beautiful.  I was able to go for a 2 1/4 mile hike today at elevation of 9000 feet with temperatures in the 80's.  Even thought it was hard it felt good that I was able to do it.  There are a lot of tourists here and I am not having any problem with the crowds at all.  The only problem I had today was with a very negative email I received this evening. So I will not be checking my email or posting for a while.  This laptop will just have to be shut off and shut down for a while. Thats one way to get rid of the negativity for a while.  I hope you all have been doing well and following your dreams.

Your Dreams

Anerol,
 
Congratulations on following your dream of taking some classes and getting in the car and doing some driving again.  I am so happy for you .  You are making some real progress.  It is interesting talking to people I agree.  Taking the first step is hard but after that it gets easier.  You should be very proud of yourself and I think this calls for a special reward.
