This is a big one and a nice long walk in the crowd too. I am glad to hear you say you are very proud of yourself. Congratulations! on making it through another exposure therapy. I too am very proud of myself after doing exposure therapy. It is very liberating. It really does feel great being able to do what you want to do doesn't it?
Today I went for a nice long walk in a crowded part of my city. Usually I never go to this part of town because I can't handle it (too many people, weird smells), but there was something I wanted to get and I was able to get out there and get what I needed (i've been working on my exposure therapy). So I am very proud of myself for doing this.
I read a lot too and got a couple books at walmart Wednesday night. It keeps my mind busy. I mostly read Danielle Steel, Robyn Carr, Debbie Macomber kind of books. Takes me away from reality for awhile I guess.
Your trip sounds very exciting! Have a great time, continue to work on exposure and check in with us when you get back! Congratulations on having quit smoking for one month, enjoy your reward!
