If my plane hits any turbulence….I will probably pee myself.

I don’t know about you, but I’m somewhat convinced that my insane gripping of the armrests is the only thing keeping the plane in the air.

All these trips are God’s way of helping you get over that fear (while having fun at the events) . Wish I were going to be there. But we have Blogher (hopefully LOL)

I understand exactly. Although i’m not like frightened. I think the feeling in the air is soooo strange.

I am terrified of flying, too…and unfortunately, I have to fly all the time because of the volunteer work I do.

First, I got a nice prescription of Valium from my doctor. Just 5mg. One little pill when I get on the plane – and it takes the “edge” off.

Second, I actually went to a website called http://www.fearofflying.com, where I got tremendous help from the information there. I actually flew to Europe last summer and I did great. Last week, I flew back from a mission trip to Jamaica – and we had some turbulence most of the flight, my biggest fear – and I didn’t even sweat it. I’ve learned a lot by going to this website…some of the stuff is free, but I went ahead and paid for the iPod tapes – which I take with me every time I’m on a plane.

And – millions of people fly every day. Accidents are extremely, extremely rare. And turbulence is very, very common. The odds are definitely in your favor.
