What is it that you find admirable in others, when you figure that out start behaving that way. Want to cure "low" self-esteem? Start performing esteemable acts for a change.
My input on the relationship spectrum, I pose YOU a question:
Today... are you the man that the woman of your dreams is searching for?
If not, then you got some work to do before you let your little friend out to play then huh?

Not necessarily. A doctor can be an integral tool for any person's overall health. However... they have also been wonderful tools for addicts to get legal drugs to get high rather than get well.
Here, you might think to consult your conscience before you consult your doctor.

That might be a funny amongst the crowds you are hanging with now, but to me, with you being new, and suggesting a trip to the doctor, it is no laughing matter. This kind of dark humor for the addict can have some unintended consequences psychologically - as in desensitization towards the process of relapse.
In certain cases this might be akin to someone sneaking up behind a bomb tech trying to defuse an explosive and yelling "BANG!!!"
Anyway... Read today's JFT reading, it's right up your ally on this one.
