There have been countless discussions and theories and "quick fixes" in order to help people get over their dreaded approach anxiety but folks, I might have given you the last post to read about AA you will ever have to read!

Ian (Methuselah) Smith told us Round Table members at a site I help mod the other night during our conference that he never had AA before he got into the game, yet, when he was introduced and became familiar with the term AA- he got it! And he got it bad!

I remember when I was first introduced to the game and how I realized that the first step was to obviously approach. So, I went to every approach anxiety thread I could find on 3 or 4 of the boards that I frequent (or rather used to) only to have the thought that approach anxiety compounded into my mind even more.

I have always had an idealistic viewpoint regarding life and many other things and when it came to approach anxiety it was no different. I don't necessarily believe in approach anxiety yet I was told that it was real from everyone who was confused. It's like a hypnotist using hypnotic suggestion- when he tells you that your legs are starting to feel warm then they start to feel warm, or that you start to feel an itch on your face and sooner or later your going to want to scratch.

The difficulty, however, is telling someone something doesn't exist when they feel is presently. The answer my friend is to change your thinking. A man who can change his thinking has unlimited power is my belief and when the way we think creates the reality we live in- we realize that we have control of our entire reality.

So stop compounding your false belief that AA is real and stop reading posts about how to "treat" it. A secret my friends that many doctors (who are businessmen to a degree) don't want there to be "cures" to things because there is no money in cures- there is only money in the SPAM. So stop trying to treat it every week or so when you think you feel it. Cure it- and don't ever go to another AA thread again. You will stop feeding the false fire, and it will eventually die leaving a kick ass pheonix (probably unnecessary pheonix reference but fuck it) to rise from the ashes lol

Change your thinking -> Control your thoughts -> Control your reality -> Take charge of your life
