Wow! You guys (and gals if there are any) are awesome! What a response! Sorry i haven't been on here in a few days. I've had a scary but successful weekend. I'm on day 14 now with no xanax. It keeps getting easier, but it does seem to be slowing down.
However, this weekend i had to deal with a bunch of children (that aren't mine) in a huge public place. Yes, it was a family reunion. Like i said before...i've hung on to a couple tabs (call them my confidence tabs) and man did i have this this weekend...in my pocket and ready to go.
And although it wasn't easy, and i had tough bouts of pretty bad...borderline anxiety attacks, i made it through and the best part...without taking any xanax. I know it may seem simple, but it was a big victory for me and i feel so much better as a result!
Thanks again for the advice everyone!
