To those of you who are afraid to (or aren't ready to) lose your emetophobia - what would it take to make you want to get rid of it? What are you waiting for? I'm not forcing anyone, I'm genuinely curious.

Your first comment cracked me up-hahahahaha! Does your ex-hubby know you are offering up his 'boys'? 
I think in order for me to voluntarily give up my behaviors, literally it would take some guarantee that absolutely, positively 100% I WILL NEVER do IT again. Which, I admit, is as feasible as is the belief that my current routines and habits are what's keeping me safe. I'm also anxious and a control freak naturally so like JK, I'm afraid of what other intangible thing my brain might latch onto. The way it sits, for the most part I have an amazing life and I love it, despite emet. True, there are times when I spiral downwards and feel despondent but have always somehow managed to shake it off and bounce back (no question, you guys have A LOT to do with that!). Yes, emet is definitely part of who I am but its only a small part and doesn't define who I am as a person.
I guess as a whole, I'm OK with that
