Fear of Flying- Easter Hol update finally

I made it- MN REALLY helped. My hubby rang friends to say he was 90% sure I would not go. But I made it on a cocktail of Kalms, Betablockers, Valium and Red Wine.
But won't be flying again soon.

Well done you! Loving your 'cocktail' btw, I think I might have one of those myself!!! :)

Make sure you use 10mg valium- had to take 3 x 2mg and only lasted 40 mins.

Well done! I was hoping you made it. You should be really proud of yourself, it's not easy facing any fear.

Yes, well done!! I'm glad you went.

Next time, book somewhere you can drive to and save yourself the stress. :)

Did you have a good time there, btw?

kangers · 13/05/2011 23:03

yes- I had a good time- but slightly wired about the return flight. Valium less useful as I was less stressed- was asking strangers fo alcohol. Our friends were great- overall really pleased I made it, but not something I will enjoy in the future (much to family's annoyance).

Maybe for the next flight you would be better placed to get hypnotherapy or some kind of therapy.
