I was quite anxious in the days leading up to this workshop, but in the first minutes of entering the room I quickly realised that wow, this was a room of normal people, that all shared a common problem! It was an amazing weekend and there was no pressure from anybody, just the relief that for once everyone there knew what I was thinking, and was probably thinking the same things. It felt good to talk openly about our/my situations and just seeing that no-one looked at me funny was such a relief! It was great to hear all the same stories I have been through personally, leaving early from the pub, finding alleys to pee in away from the pub toilets(!), having 3 pees before leaving the house just in case, etc, etc. But nonetheless, the weekend wass well structured, Andrew and Colin were very understanding and the people I met, and that you will meet, helped me come to the realisation that this is all in the head and we are not alone with this. Do something about it, you will not regret it.
