A layman’s (nice pun!) definition of performance anxiety is basically… a guy worries about how well he’ll do in the sack to the point that he ends up unable to perform at all. … Read entire article »

7 Steps to Debt Reduction
Getting out of debt is a topic dear to my heart. As a younger man I used my credit cards without caution, even when I had the cash on hand to pay for things. Why pay now when you can pay later? I think of the Foghat song, “Live Now, Pay Later.” Well… later eventually comes. Fast forward about 10 years and suddenly I found myself tens of thousands of dollars in debt, barely able to even make the minimum payments on my cards. The worst part was that even when I did make the minimum payments, my overall debt still went up every month, even without charging anything new. The finance charges (and occasional late fees) outpaced the miniscule minimum payments. Getting out of debt will take time, let’s get that straight. … Read entire article »

Handling Verbal Confrontation
Have you ever been pushed into a fight? Has someone ever just pushed your buttons to the point that you couldn’t help but fight with them? Most of us have. Well, I know I have. But if you stop and think about it, that’s really a sign of weakness on our part, and a symbol of control on the other person’s part – even if that other person is a child. We’re letting someone else control our emotions and our actions. And even though many of us think we’re strong people, when it comes to confrontation, all bets are off.

Signs You Live With A Meth User
I originally wrote a similar article detailing my 15-year life with a meth user. I have yet to post it. While I still plan to post that at some point, I found it too difficult to publish at this point. If you’ve lived with a meth user, you know how emotionally, physically, and mentally draining it can be. So for the time being, I will compromise with myself and post a more objective description of meth use.I’ve read other sites, and sometimes I get the idea these “experts” have never lived with a meth user through the worst of it. I don’t write this with the expertise of a doctor who has studied patients and run tests. … Read entire article »
