Sage, if my treatment program here does not work out, I will move to Canada and stay there as long as it takes to get treated. Hopefully, though, things will work out here. I just got back from Las Vegas, so I was on a couple day hiatus from therapy...it's time to get back to it. Oh, and while in Vegas, I saw a pile of vomit on the sidewalk and didn't have a panic attack. I did have some anxiety, especially b/c I had to walk past it on the way back (I looked the other way), but I didn't change any of my Vegas plans because of seeing the vomit. Yay!
