At last,... made the phone call to customer support. - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

You all know me... major panic disorder, autism, fear of life, fear of everything... and especially social anxiety...

But I finally made a phone call *first big one of my life, alone and unaided* to customer support about my web site on why it hasn't been working right, though we haven't gotten it figured out really the point is I actually did it... I was actually kind of using my anger to make the call, to motivate me to do it but that's not a good way to do it... but I wanted to make the call so bad... through e-mail and such was no good nothing was working! So... least I finally made a phone call, don't feel any smarter or anything but at least I did that..

Doesn't it feel great to take the initiative to step outside of our comfort zone? Keep moving forward!!!

Thanks for the big grin.

And hey, don't be so hard on yourself. Angry is a feeling and you did something constructive with it. It's not like you cussed them out!

Angry motivated me to clean almost the whole house yesterday.
