You're probably the 10,000th person to tell me that.
I wanted to get over it for years, I knew it was keeping me from experiencing new places. I think having to drive from Montana to my home in the LA area in one day started the ball rolling. What a miserable drive that was. Then my son was invited to a private skate last summer with an NHL player back East. Initially I said no, because I couldn't see myself getting on a plane. Once enough people called me selfish, I think I realized it was the right time to get over it. I've done it four times now, and still have moments during the flight where I have anxiety, but for the most part, I'm pretty calm. At least now, there's at least a chance I'll get to see the Flames play in Calgary.
