February 1, 2007. Being a firefighter in New York City is not only a noble profession, but also an extremely dangerous one. It takes courage just to get through the training and prove to teammates that you can be counted on to hold up under the stress. Being young, single and female requires an extra measure of toughness on top of the courage. And 29-year-old Jennifer had plenty of both. Yet, this brave woman had a secret that kept her in a chronic state of anxiety and essentially isolated from the support and camaraderie of her fellow fire fighters. It was like being trapped in her own personal burning building. Jennifer, at 29, was a bedwetter.

When not conquering flames and savings lives, this courageous lady was waging a personal battle against her bedwetting condition. Doctors had finally stopped promising that she would ?outgrow? the nightly bedwetting and daytime accidents. But none of their bed-wetting treatments had been effective?not medication, special diets or psychotherapy. Jennifer managed to become a kind of hero in her job, but as a woman, she felt empty. She longed to meet that special someone, and asked herself why she had not defeated bedwetting years ago'or at least outgrown it like the doctors had promised. But here she was, not even daring to go out on a date.

Just when Jennifer had reached a rock bottom state of hopelessness and wondered if she was going a little crazy, a friend with a 12 year-old daughter shared their family enuresis secret and an exciting Internet solution. Jennifer was skeptical at first. Was this going to be yet another empty promise for a cure? With nowhere else to turn, she contacted the Enuresis Treatment Center.

She learned that her problem might be due to an inherited sleep disorder, not a lack of self-control. Gaining confidence, she enrolled in the program and was assigned a personal counselor who really got to know Jennifer, her history and current situation. Jennifer used the telephone to communicate and a fax machine to report her progress. Her counselor gave her hope and confidence, and most of all?results! Jennifer's path to taking charge of bedwetting began 18 months ago, and now it's all in the past. Her bed is dry every morning, and she feels like her life has begun. With newfound confidence, she has forged friendships at work, created better relationships with her family and she has begun to date. The missing pieces of her life are coming together. This urban hero is finally putting out the flames of her own loneliness.
