hi I find pub toilets a challenge. yes after a drink I'm a bit less inhibited so it should be easier but so are other people and they are much happier to encroach on your space. often standing next to you maybe talking to you. maye there's a queue waiting behind as well?. In other public toilets (eg railways station) people are more reserved and it can be dfficult to get the level of challenge I'm working on. its a good challenge for me to work on and its one of the issues i have to deal with from a practical point of view - if I can crack it I've achieved one of my two main aims in this process. the other is being able to urinate with people i know present. I did manage that the other day after telling the person who was there. (He didn't think it was strange or funny - just a practical problem cos he was bursting to go as well and there was only one working urinal) I didn't think I could do that but i did. Doing the CBT methods you can surprise yourself sometimes. nigel R (attended London workshops in Sept and Oct 2007)
