June will mark seven years since I started my road to recovery. I imagine that many you feel as I did. Once I took the meds, all my panic days would soon end. Not true. The hard work came when I had to uncover the layers of what brought me to anxiety in the first place. I've asked Joy to help me tell my story so the listeners can hear from her lips about my ups and downs, my highs and lows and my commitment to doing what it takes to continue to grow as a person, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
