Sweatbee,
Wow! That's a fabulous accomplishment! Be proud of yourself, I am. You'll ace  the wedding, I just know it! Let us know how it goes. You should wear your new blouse with much pride in  your self! Maybe  wear it on your first few drives, just to remind you of how well you did. Just a thought.

Hi Sweatbee -

Way to go! I was so happy to read about your success. You deserve to be proud of yourself and to celebrate this big step. Keep us posted about how the wedding is - I too like how you're practicing with positive self talk leading up to it. You can do it!

Hello sweatbee,
 
Thank you for this update, it is great to hear that you were able to go all the way with your clothing store outing. What techniques did you use to help you get through this situation? Did you any positive self-talk or techniques that you learned from the program?
 
Members, what techniques help you during shopping excursions?

Hi Sweatbee:  That's a great update.  Congratulations!  So happy for you.  I bet you will be able to use that new confidence when you move forward with the driving.  Way to go! Yay, Sweatbee! bold  That positive outlook will be great for the first wedding too.

Hi all just an update, I have been working on exposure with stores and
being out for the last little while well today I went into a clothing store
by myself and bought a blouse by myself!! my husband stayed out in the car!
I have not been able to do this in a long time! Now I will tell you that  I
was nervous and I wanted to revert back to my old ways ( panic and flee)
but I pushed through and was sooo proud of myself, I even talked with
the sales lady and another costumer. I have been trying  to feel more
at ease when I have to be around alot of people as I have the first wedding coming
up in about a week and a half. I am hoping to build on this. That and I have been
trying to work on the negative self talk about my driving, I'm trying to reprogram
myself on the way I feel about my driving so that when I start back to it I will
have more confidence. Well thats about all for now.  My best to all.
