One day down, A lifetime to go...

I wanted to share with everyone that I successfully made it through the entire day yesterday with no xanax. It's been almost 7 years since I've done that. I feel so in control. I feel good. I got really nervous yesterday everytime I would think about what I was doing and of course worried about a possible panic attack. I told DH the other day that I was worried I would have one and he would be asleep. He said that if that happens I should wake him. That is huge because his biggest pet peeve is when people wake someone who is sleeping. It took me a long time to fall asleep and I woke up a couple of times but the attacks never came. I am still worried they will but I know I can handle it. Today is another test of myself because I will be in a car for at least an hour this evening when we go to DH's youngest brother's baseball game. Riding in cars is high anxiety for me because I get carsick and I worry about accidents. I'm confident I can do it though. I recently "found" God again and am happy putting my faith and trust in Him. I always pray for Him to give me strength and realized yesterday that He IS my strength. I feel very lucky to have my faith. I hope everyone else is doing well and will keep everyone posted on my progress.
Hugs to all
