From Panic to Pride: My 4-Week Driving Comeback

Four weeks ago, I sat behind the wheel with shaky hands after not driving for two years. Since then, I’ve taken the car out 16 times, and today I even treated myself to a solo movie trip! The anxiety hasn’t disappeared, but I’ve found comfort in setting up my seat, adjusting mirrors, and playing my favorite tunes. Deep breaths and my mantra—“I am capable”—keep me grounded. Healthy snacks and skipping extra coffee help too. Narrating what I see on the road makes me feel more in control. I never thought I’d get here, but I’m genuinely proud.
