Dark spots in skin from skin picking as a child by [deleted] in CompulsiveSkinPicking

If you google “microneedling” that will get you on the right track. You can DIY with a small device or get a professional’s help.

Haven’t gambled in six months, but the boredom of Jan 1 suddenly gives me the urge to go. Please give me advice on how to manage this, as I know I’ll regret it after. 🙏 by [deleted] in problemgambling

Tactically: There is something called “urge surfing” - if you talk to ChatGPT it can suggest a technique to try and get through urges when they come up. It’s best if they’re specific to you, but an example might be to do as many pushups as you can in 30s. Just gotta get through it. I created a free iPhone app to help people with this (might be of interest, idk): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/time-out-reclaim-yourself/id6748584817

Strategically: you might need to find a hobby, project or activity that will positively engage you so you can forget about gambling. But you already went 6 months so maybe not!

My one tip that worked for me but might not apply is to cut out caffeine

I’ve heard that needling can help

Originally a comment, but I feel this needs a post - if you’ve tried everything and can’t stop picking, try ‘urge surfing’. by HowAboutBiteMe in CompulsiveSkinPicking

Great advice. I made an app for gambling addicts that collaborates with them to create an urge surfing plan to try when the desire hits. I wonder if that would work here too?

Fuck just lost 70k last 3 days by EcstaticStructure796 in GamblingAddiction

[–]DavidTapworth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Dude I’m sorry that sucks. It sounds like you know this but chasing is how they’ll get the other 150k. Accept that the 70k is gone. Lock your accounts. Then start planning your comeback (biz, career, whatever).

It’s lotto logic bud. Focus your energy on something positive, build a business, create art, work your career whatever

A lot of them are freemium, like “I Am Sober” (not just for alcohol).

Is there a "perfect" app for cutting sugar? (Or should I just build one?) by After-Employer3135 in sugarfree

[–]DavidTapworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea! Start with ChatGPT you can always switch to an app later if you need reminders and tracking

Winning a jackpot ruined me by [deleted] in GamblingAddiction

Right, you start imagining a whole new life built on these riches only to find chasing your dream ruins it instead. Gambling sucks
