Has anyone here experienced their self confidence rocketing with a lengthy streak of cleanliness?
Guard, do you know of such a correlation?

YOU ARE LIKE THE BOY WHO TOOK OFF HIS TRAINING WHEELS AND NOW HE CAN flyyyy

Just in case I do need one, bARDITCHEV, do you know of a good 'psicholog' in brooklyn v'hagleeles?

Who needs a Pischeeaalog when you got the Rebbe Reb Bardichev.

He can make Moifsim like you have never seen before.

Reb B. promised someone that didn't have kids for years with a child.

You wont believe it, but, 2 months later & they had Twins! lol

So, you all know nothing about it?
60 views and all I get is 2 measly replies?

(No offense please, bARD and E.L.)

From my experience there is a clear correlation between falling and losing self confidence/self esteem.

It seems pretty self-understood to me! 

Reb Shmilu, that's also why I didn't comment. All I can add is that taivoh takes us farther and farther away from Hashem. And stopping brings us closer and closer (if we want it to). So it's not just self esteem and self confidence, it's a whole different life. [But kol hascholos koshos and every time we need to reach a new level it's a new hascholoh]

Once I got in to this, I'll go a little deeper. The truth is that once someone gets in to the habit, it's not possible to stop al pi derech hateva. (Gemoroh A'Z 17a and Ohr Hachaim Vayikra 18,2) The only way,is to tap in to Siyata Dishmaya, by braking down the mechitzos that we built up between us and Hashem and turning  to Him unconditionaly. Once we do that we can do anything, because Hashem is Kol Yachol.(There's so much more to it but this is enough for now.)

Okay, I guess I didn't efficiently explain myself.

Of course it makes sense that it should be related. My question was did you know of a specific case of a person that suffered from an extreme case of low self-confidence that saw salvation through improving in this area.

YES  ME

I WAS TOTALLY CONVINCED BY MYSELF THAT I WAS "SHVACH'AND I NEEDED THIS JUNK TO BE NORMAL

MORMAL?? YOU ASK SNEAKING OUT OF THE HOUSE TO BUY MILK A 1 AM TO SEE JUNK IN THE OFFICE

Reb Shmilu there are a lot of guys like that here. Like me for ex. But there's a pitfall over here. Because if your self image depends on how well you're doing right now, that's to dangerous. Check out this page: rehab-my-site.com/guardureyes/forum/index.php?topic=763.75

Thanks, Battleworn.
I had actually read your post on the other thread before you linked to it here.
Pretty powerful stuff.
Thanks again.
