No, not the book.


I have always been an uncomfortable flyer. Then some years ago I became irrationally afraid to fly and just couldn't do it anymore. About 10 years ago I tried to work my way out of it by doing some relaxation exercises after taking to a psychologist and then took a short flight. I quietly had a panic attack on the plane, which is a highly unpleasant experience I do not want to repeat. I couldn't get back on for the return trip and spouse had to drive 160 miles to come get me. I know the physics of how planes stay in the air, but my body just doesn't seem to believe my head.

Anyway, I want to work through this. Anyone overcome a fear of flying? Would taking a xanax or two get you through a flight?
