Not to go all Franklin Delano Roosevelt on anyone, but it is true...fear is poison. Don't get me wrong, fear is useful. I never thought I'd live til 30 and lived real dangerous for a real long time. Self (and loved one's)-preservation is paradigm these days. .....Still, no matter when your station in life....sometimes you have to "Jump"....march forward...... Any Cliff Jumping Stories?

Mine is simple. Fear of needles AND black widow or brown recluse spiders.

I have a number of fears I have conquered and you are so right about fear being a poison! I was in a head-on collision when I was 15 - a passenger in the car. No one died but there were severe injuries! I could NOT be in a car even for a short distance - I would freak out. Panic would take over me completely and I had no control over this. My mother found a very patient driving instructor who took my fears away - very very slowly! To prove it to myself that I was cured and to move the benchmark one level higher, I entered myself into one full season of car racing - one track was a quarter mile dirt and the other circuit was a half-mile paved oval racetrack! I also entered into 2 demolition derbies! I was 2nd on the second one! Darn! But the car and I both did take a beating! (ouch!) I am still alive (haha!) and I am an awesome driver with total control no matter what the weather does and no fear!

I love it! Nothin like a Derby to cure fear of crashing! Something weird. I've jumped out of an airplane 13 times to break fear, yet I STILL get warbly looking down from a 2nd story rooftop.
