I *am* grateful that I didn't drink. At the time it was all I could imagine that would help de-escalate my fear. My husband is very supportive and also not at all restrictive - if I had ordered a drink on the plane he would have been unhappy but wouldn't have stopped me. (Nothing can really ever get between me and a drink, I absolutely know that.)
I'm not so good at compartments. I mush everything together and try to look at the overall balance... having Happy boxes and Scared boxes would be a good way to keep me from letting a bad experience spoil an otherwise fantastic one. Having written my stuff out here helped me to put my scared stuff in its own box. I'm so glad I went to Chicago!
Thanks, Muffled.
