    Gonna be straight up here;

    how does one increase their self esteem? And does an increase in self-esteem lead to being more sociable?

    Identify your insecurities. Tackle the root of those insecurities on a daily basis. Read literature that reminds you how special it is to have a precious human life and that you are worthy, no matter how other people receive you.

    This is the most important question. Self-esteem is the blueprint that dictates all our actions & interactions.
    To have a healthy self-esteem, all you need to do is to make it a burning desire to acquire one.
    Keep saying to yourselves: i have a healthy self-esteem.
    The brain will start directing you towards things to do and to things to read/watch.
    Fix the roots ( self-esteem) and forget about the fruits.
    Please pm if you still have any questions.

  6. Hello. I registered here a few years ago but I was in the wring place emotionally to form a healthy habit.
    I'm 52 and have been a sex addict for 35+ years. Over that time my BOC has been anonymous meetings, porn, compulsive masturbation oh yes and then drugs and sex.
    I knew that I had a problem all the way through really but hid it. I started therapy five years ago now and I am now, more or less, not meeting anyone. I feel that this is the right time to stop PMO for 90 days. I did 30 last month but some feelings of anger have come up in a certain situation and this led me back to PMO to curb anxiety.
    My question is where do I start here? I am confident that I an succeed and know that it can be tough. What would you do if you were in my position?
    Before, I have just abstained but I'd like to try and use the forum in the best possible way to start putting in this piece of the jigsaw.
    Thanks for your help.

    Why do u want to change?
     
  8. I want to change because this conflicts with my core values. I am absent from my family and from my life when I behave in this way. I have problems with anxiety afterwards which spirals into yet more unhealthy behaviour. I want to be successful as a husband, father and in my career. My PMO/addict behaviour impacts on that.

    That is a very strong WHY.
     
  10. Yes, agreed, it is strong. I want to change because that behaviour does not make me happy. I am not being true to me. Or are you asking a different "why"?
