Hi David, Incredible though you may find it, you are lucky ! I say this for several reasons. You have found and are making good use of the UKPT website, you know you are not alone with this condition, you have confided in someone else about it and are able to pee in her presence, you are beginning to take the right steps to deal with the problem and have the determination to succeed. Above all you are a young man and have years of life ahead when peeing will either be no problem or one you can light-heartedly cope with. I am over twice your age and lived with AP all my life. Like you, I could easily write a book about all my "adventures", or should it be "misadventures" ! But I found this website about three years ago and my life has in many ways been transformed, particularly by going on two Workshops, and by having contact with other men with the same problem. I am one of those people who can now "pee at a urinal with other people around them" - at least most of the time. Your next step is to book yourself into a Workshop as soon as posible. The atmosphere there is incredibly friendly and helpful and the opporunity to talk to others with AP experience is not to be missed. Why be anxious when you are all in the same boat ! I hope this will encourage you in your "recovery" and please do keep us informed of your progress. Good luck to you. Pete.
