Hi Kev, I've found it helps a lot just putting your story on this disscussion board and getting feedback and reading other guys messages. You can pick up really useful tips and you'll get a lot of encouragement. It helps so much just to know that none of us are alone. You did really well telling your Mum. When I first told my wife, she didn't really understand. Keep talking to her, just doing so is a great help as it gets the problem out in the open. You definitely need to read through the CBT approach (look under 'First Visit' on the main menu). Desensing yourself gradually really works. Like Andrew says, you have a great attitude and that's more than half the battle. If you beleive you can beat this, then you will. Let us know how you are getting on. All the best. Cheers, Geoff.
