Well, Always seems that I run to this page like a preverbal blanket for comfort whenever I experience angst leading upto a flight. I know that I have always "survived" all will more than likely be alright; he writes crossed fingered, when I get on my flight this friday. Why, why, why, do I always get myself in such a knot about it, the fear of being unable to pee on a flight when I have done it for the past 2 flights to the USA over 2 years; and yes I posted here too.... My wife, as always is very supportive, and bless her for her understanding, my daughter is oblivious (7 Years old) and not something I want her to know that her supposed tower of strength, that's me, good old Dad, is a whimpering melt. I attended a workshop (Quite a while ago), and it has paid dividends many times over, and would not hesitate to say to anyone to attend, it really is life changing. But there are moments during the year, or events that occur or you plan which pose a stumbling block, and I'm afraid I've hit that at the moment, and looking for some re-assurance, if put truly, that I must remember all those things I learnt on the workshop, wish I hadn't read the Gatwick South article, since thats my departure point, but I found them OK, having flown out to the USA on both occassions and a few European ones late last year. Anyway, writing this is easing my mind and putting me into focus that I must be more positive about myself. Just need to build that thought up over the next few days!!
