I love that book - it really is a fantastic book.

The other thing is FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real

I've faced loads of fears in my recovery from binge eating disorder and now I just face the fear immediately and do it rather than sit with the fear for months. I used to have a real fear of dogs. In Jan I got a puppy and it has broken my fear and added so much to my life. People who knew me were totally shocked because I had 3 events that convinced me it would be ok and I went ahead and did it before I found all my old negative reasons as why I couldn't get a dog.
