Some of your comments:

Pink from Schenectady, NY:
Thanks Christina for your program, even it does not say
anything about smoking I found really easy to stop
smoking with this stuff. Every time I want a cigarette
I just open my palm and record an anxiety. It was really
better to register because up to this moment I know
exactly how many cigarette I have Not smoked. Today
the Records are 320, that is 16 PACKS OF SMOKES!!.

Tania from Windsor, ON:
This is really cool. I know exactly when and how I had
an anxiety attack. The "Overcome" section is really good.
And it really works.
I bring my palm to my doctor
and share the experienced events.

Kat from Farmington Hills, MI:
This app SUCKS! it doesn't cure anxiety, and I'm getting
worst every time. At least it keeps me busy. The only thing
this &%&%&g app does is distract me from my anxiety.
--Answer
Cristina: The program does not cure anxiety nor hold any one
from visiting a doctor, physician, or counselor.

Pam from Hollywood, CA:
Thanks, Christina. My husband gave me a Palm as a present
with the program installed. At first I was upset. WHO is he
to prescribe me anything!. But, after using it and getting
use to "using it", it has really helped me. He keeps asking me
How am I doing with my new palm. NOT Your Business!, I reply.

There are a lot more comments and emails.
Thanks again for your feedback and comments.
