[th...] Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hi, This is not a full and complete success story, but it is a HUGE milestone that I felt needed to be posted in the 'Success Stories' page. I hit a huge milestone today. I drove (comfortably) on the highway! OMG it feels great! Like I've been born again! I did a six week rapid taper and jumped in January last year, starting in February I couldn't drive (even as a passenger) on the highways. It was awful! The anxiety and fear was terrifying. Here is a link to this from last year : http://198.58.99.130/forum/index.php?topic=200189.msg2600650#msg2600650 So today I felt comfortable enough to drive on the highways. I drove over a HUGE bridge. I did I-95 interchanges. I drove next to trucks. I did Overtaking. I drove in the fast lane. Exhilarating!! I believe in the process and I believe that we will all be cured, it just takes time! I don't want to say I am completely cured just yet, maybe after a few months of driving with more confidence. I do have a lot of ringing in my ears, sleep is not great too. Thanks BenzoBuddies! Cheers ThisIstMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep strong, I believe in you! thisIstMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 This is definitely a success! Congratulations! It takes a high level of wellness to be able to drive freeway speeds again. I remember my first time at about 2 years off....I felt triumphant. May you continue to see progress! Carita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[pr...] Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Congratulations! I will be happy when I can drive on the highway again because it use to relax me. I may give it a try this week and jump on the freeway and go to the next exit to see how i do. PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
