Facing your fears

Tell me your story of overcoming a fear of yours.
30+ years ago I was robbed while working alone at a small Inn. The man held a gun to my head, I was afraid that I might die. (They caught him and he went to jail)
Ever since then, I've been terrified of guns. Would never touch one, hold one or allow one in my home.
I've decided it's time. I've booked a series of firearm training for early next month. I'm sure it will be very emotional for me and have a couple of friends that are joining me in the private session.
I'm going to face one if my biggest fears head on!
Please encourage me with your stories.
