    • Close Panic Attacks

      I got my first panic attack in 1990, I thought I was going to die. Before that I was a successful outside sales rep. I tried everything, from talk therapy, to hypnosis. I refused to take medication because I thought it would kill me. I ended up being agoraphobic. At the urging of my husband (now ex), and an emergency room doctor, after a big panic attack. I went to see a Psychopharmacologist, it took months but with medication and therapy, I began to feel okay.

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      It's calming...
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Prozac and Xanax. It works, I know that xanax can be addictive if abused, so I'm careful only to use it as prescribed or as needed.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      When used properly..Since driving is can put me in a state of panic..I use it as prescribed by my doctor and it helps.
    • Open Gambling Addiction & Recovery

      My father was a compulsive gambler, and I discovered Las Vegas, and all it took was one big win, and I was hooked. But then, I kept going back, hoping for that big win again. I almost lost everything, then we moved from California to Florida, and I thought I was safe, but I discovered Indian Reservations, and slot machines. I've borrowed from Peter to pay Paul, I've let my bills go unpaid, I've had numerous fights with my alcoholic boyfriend, and I know I need help.

      Treatments

      Distancing Working / Worked
      The only GA meeting is an hour away. So, I am trying real hard not to go into the internet gambling establishments. One is one block from my office, and the other one is 10 minutes away from my apartment. Does it work? Right now its a struggle, but I'm taking one day at a time.
