    A brave man is not a man who is not afraid, but one whose will is stronger than his fear.

    Thanks, people! That is MY site. I wrote those FAQs. I don't think you have to be so brave to read the Vomiting FAQ. If you want to prevent the dreaded tummy toss, it behooves you to learn as much about it as you can. That's what I did, and I share what I know.

    That was the link that I found first too. I printed it out the FAQ and showed all my friends and family that I was NOT the only crazy one!!! Must have been close to ten years ago.

    I don't know if I ever said thank you for your site Doug, but I really do appreciate the effort you put into it! It was the first thing I read when I finally decided to really research emetophobia and, along with the forums, has really helped to dramatically reduce my anxiety. THANKS!

    Your page is the first thing I read when I found out there were others like me! How strange! It is so comforting for me to go back and look at it for reminders. It spoke to my logical brain (who was at least half-listening because I had some temporary relief from my anxiety). I'd never seen so many facts/information that is important to me all in one place! I'm glad I get to personally say thank you, because I really needed the logical, rational, objective FACTS you provided for me in that neat little package.

    So...thank you, Doug. Folks like us are so lucky to have you, and each other to help us navigate life with such a crippling condition.

    And thank you to the admins and members of IES (sorry for the generalization...I will get to know you all). Your warmth and understanding goes such a long way.
