Well I survived..... Had a real bad build up on this, and thanks to Andrew for bringing things back into perspective! Night at Gatwick was Horrific, I caused myself so must unnecessary anguish and mental Angst you wouldn't believe it. The actual morning of the flight I was apprehensive but relatively calm considering I really didn't sleep at all. Fortunately the flight was on time, no delays as that causes me major problems, particularly when your on the plane and they announce it!!!! Flight was just under 5 hours, no desire to visit the loo, but went anyway, didn't go, but for the first time I didn't panic, and in fact the urge to pee came another 4 hours after the flight....Had no problems whatsoever on holiday stood at urinals with no problem, at the airport coming back I went absolutely fine, and the flight I could only pee sitting down!!! Bizarre...but I went. The thought leading up to the travel drives me nuts and my mind is all over the place worrying about the pre-looming flight and travel, I actually got myself into thinking I had a bladder infection, which I didn't have. The mind is a very powerful and strange thing, I will be desensing this weekend, as I haven't done it for so long. I am halfway house at the moment, euphoric at doing the trip, and have booked another holiday for August, only a 3 hour one, but I will desense leading up to that holiday and drink as usual before and during the flight. Thanks to Geoff/Andrew for their support and for those out there thinking of attending a workshop just do it, it will change your live, I guarantee it!!!
