What's SNHL?

That's short for Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Something that has to do with damage to nerve endings in the auditory canal. It could be due to accident, infection or age. But most times, the cause is unknown.

I feel depressed whenever I'm studying for my CISA certification. The materials are so boring it makes me want to tug angrily at my beards. I don't even know which spirit possessed me to register for the course..

Might be a case of Attention deficit disorder.
It takes real discipline to overcome.
As for the poor communication, I guess you get nervous and anxious alot?

I think they are doing me from village......I’m supposed to get married next year, how can I cope with poor money management when I have not learn how to be resourceful money?
You have to learn financial discipline.
Have an account purely for savings that doesn't have an atm. You can also consult a financial manager.

Are you in a relationship?
Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Do you find yourself alone most times?
Fighting porn addiction isn't something that's easy or will just happen overnight. Get involved in physical and religious activities. Try to limit the number of times you watch porn gradually in a day/week

My biggest problem now is earning a steady income. I have a plan to sort that out but men . . . it will take time and patience. If I die in the process . . . at least I died trying. I support myself through a property my parents left I and my siblings but I can't bank on it forever.

And don't tell me I'M lucky bla, bla. I've heard it too many times from people who don't know 'big man problem'.

Complaining is a bad thing. This is why I never do it and stop myself in my tracks when I catch myself doing it unconsciously.

It reinforces the problem. So the sages teach.

If the property can generate bulk income at a go, Why not go into trading. U will still have time to do other things if u know your onions.

As long as you are the patience type.
Just suggesting anyway.

Yes, but not the conventional type. The best ones are those tailored to match the degree of the loss suffered.

annex1:


I was a hopeless alcoholic. I depended on it. Early morning before work, I'll hurry a bottle or a satchet (I usually called that "take away"wink then destroy the evidence with sweets. Spent numerous cross-overs at bars drinking. One period, I'll buy some bottles, drive to old bar beach to just finish them alone by myself. That was a Saturday morning ritual.

It started in the University. I never quit a drinking session till I hit "10 Star general" literally. Or pass out trying. I never womanized or smoked, but alcohol? My weakness.

I aced everything. Every brand my money could afford at the moment - exotic or indigenous, I was there. I'll go drinking at the slightest opportunity. I always had a glass bottle of orijin in my room. I'll finish a minimum of three bottles per pay. Cup by cup. Bottles piling. Same routine next day.

I'll have a cup when I wake up, before I eat, even while I eat, a cup of my buddy is there to step down. At every individual moment, I'll have at least 3 brands of whisky in my closet even during my postgraduate time. Friends knew I was the go to guy. I remember having numerous memory lapses at a time. Like so many hours I couldn't remember or account for.

I'll invite any lady I meet to heavy drinking no matter how soon we met. I literally inducted people to drinking. Days, weekends full of passing out. On solely alcohol. A lady friend of mine lost her Dad. She was distraught, she called me. I felt bad that i introduced her to heavy drinking. That was the only solace I had, the only way I knew to brood. Thank goodness she found her way out. I was indeed a mess.

Most Sunday mornings, I'm at a pub drinking.
After work, I'm at a pub. Drinking. Few days after my appendectomy, I was with my buddy. I've at numerous times had a bottle before an interview. I found it soothing. It relaxed me.

I had a policy to never turn alcohol down. Or not finish a bottle - never dishonor my buddy. I considered it a kind of solemnization to drink with you - to invite you to my table and drink with you.
Believe it or not, I've had very little embarrassing moments. One of such occasions was after a friends wedding, we got back to our hotel, I was so drunk and angry at something I can't remember. I walked out of the hotel say 1 am and kept going till I blanked out. Events between then and dawn are still unaccounted for. I'll say the most embarrassing was the memory loss/skipping, forgetting names or mixing them up.

But then it dawned on me that this wasn't living. I felt empty. It was usually this emptiness that drove me to it initially (2006).

No matter the number of female friends I had around me, I didn't have a relationship, or I couldn't keep one or I wasn't interested in first place. I pushed people away. I was only happy in my buddy's presence. I felt empty. I tried withdrawing but I'll be right back to it. I understood I couldn't get different results using same methods. Most importantly, there is no other way to stop the addiction than cutting it COLD.
Once you realise it is reducing the quality of your life, you are on the way of winning the addiction. I had to cut off some people. Stayed away from pubs. You might not be a Christian and so I hate to include this; but I don't believe I stopped without some higher power/support.

I realised it was inherently a family habit. While there are some other vices that alcoholism fuels and some spiritual attachments to it. I won't talk about that because it isn't in the scope of my answer to your post. Plus I will never impose or suggest my belief on/to you without permission.

Nevertheless, now you understand it's a problem, the scoreline is You 1:1 Alcohol you are almost winning. I believe the next step to make is reduce your dependence on it. Then after, you'll score the winner by leaving it completely.

Gracias.
How far your liver?

Lukewarm:
I am at crossroads in my relationship life right now.

On one hand, I've got this great dude I've been with for some years. Everyone thinks he's perfect for me because he's ready to be responsible and settle down, then he also plans for the future.

But the problem?

We don't seem to have that connection or chemistry. I find it hard just telling him I love him. But everyone keeps ringing it into my ear that he's one of the good guys and there are quite a few out there. So I promised myself to respect him and hope that is enough to keep a marriage going.

Then on to the minor thing:
1. He's a traditional guy. He believes all a woman needs to do is cook, clean, and conceive. He believes a lot of things are frivolities and a wife has got little to no say in the house.

This really badgers me.

But hey! He's one of the few good ones available.....right?

Then I got a shocker.

I met someone 2 months ago and its been a totally crazy and new experience for me.

It's the first time I've seen someone share the same warped sense of humour I've got. First time I'd meet someone that shares a lot of common interest with me. First time someone will creep into my subconscious and make me smile or even lol at something goofy he did or said.

Now, it's got me thinking:

Is respect really enough?

But my family is having none of that second thoughts. It so happens they'd conveniently bring up the story of a really distant aunt that lost her opportunity to marry by saying No to someone and is still a spinster at 45.

And it really isn't helping matters that my new POI is from a different tribe and isn't set for settling now.

So conflicted.


:-

I don't see the problem here.
It is not a must you have to marry at all.
Marriage is not something everyone must partake in, unless you are a religiousnut.
