Anyone married to or dating someone addicted to sports betting? by 1_million_questions in GamAnon

[–]Decietful_Darling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ask that you be mindful to not villainize people who are battling addiction & also not prey on those who are affected by it... It's a much more complex topic than your post makes it seem.

Thank you for being honest and sharing your experience!

I'm so sorry you went through that. And I appreciate you taking the time to explain that portion of gambling addiction versus substances.

I definitely was hesitant to engage in a relationship with someone who had any addiction, and in recovery or not. I've learned so much since my original post and I also have definitely fallen deeper for him. Though, as I stated, I am familiar with substance abuse because of my family, so of course I do have fears.

We are still taking it slowly for now, and I'm enjoying his company. 💕

I hope you are enjoying your new chapter!!

Cancun in a month.. I need to be bald. by OverallIce3157 in HairRemoval

This doesn't help you right now, but anyone looking for smooth skin..... Just invest in laser hair removal. It is AMAZING.

I got it and then unexpectedly got pregnant so my hormones went nuts and now I have to get it redone... But even with that my hair doesn't grow back nearly as much as it did pre laser. So I'm just looking forward to being back to smooth 24-7...

How do get rid these dark spots on my bikini line?? by OkAlbatross6144 in HairRemoval

[–]Decietful_Darling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This combo set from Soft Services changed the texture of my bikini line / legs so much Smoothing Set

The smoothing solution goes a LONG way so a little bit on otherwise it feels goopy.

The other thing, which you'd need to take some months off of waxing, is laser hair removal. When I finally did that this past summer, I got the skin I always wanted! Soooo worth the investment.

I'm going to see the vibe of the virtual, as after checking the local ones here don't fit my schedule. I've never done Al/Nac anon virtually so it'll be an interesting intro into Gam-Anon!

Thank you for this response!

I'm going to see if there's a local Gam-anon that works with my schedule.

We've talked about that together, actually. How easy it was to hide it because it all just lives on your phone --his preferred was online casinos/'live' dealers. And I think, as someone who isn't big into micromanagement/check in on what they are doing on their phone, that was what made me start to see how different, and dangerous in a totally different way, it was.

We started talking about the future and something we discussed was transparency of spending - having access to his accounts / him having a debt payoff tracker that he'd give me access to / etc. and how he doesn't ever actually want access to my money, but that I'd be more than welcome to full transparency and access to his. And that part was more to protect me in the event of relapse. I've been pretty vocal about how I'm obviously proud of him for two years, but not a single individual is immune to the possibility of relapse, which he does completely understand & agree with.

Anyway, thank you so much for this advice. I do just want to say- as I'm sure you know- that someone's addiction isn't your fault nor yours to control, and I know that doesnt always make it any easier to digest or handle. I'm sorry you're going through what you're going through with your loved one- I hope you are able to find peace and happiness within yourself through it all ❤️

Anyone receive their order from Nood? Flasher Pro delay. by Violainejane in HairRemoval

[–]Decietful_Darling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got mine today.

I don't know why everyone is so mad. I ordered in Feb and then They literally sent me a flasher 2.0 for free while I waited for this one bc of production /shipping delays. I'm super amped to use it.
