Good and proud of myself. It's taken over two years but I think I've conquered my fear of freeways. I couldn't have done it without cognitive therapy, a good therapist, and encouraging friends. Thank you.
I had planned on taking the freeway route, but my talking phone detoured and took me through the mountain-view path and it was nice and fun; tight, winding roads going through the mountains—just what my car was made for. I had to catch myself and slow down. So, yeah ... I think I've got this.
