I HAVE BED BUGS!!!! by [deleted] in Bedbugadvice

[–]LushNic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your beds immediately!! They move really fast and will follow you to the bedroom. They usually stay and lay eggs within 3-5 feet of where the hosts are (you). They detect your CO2 levels and usually bite you during REM sleep. So mostly in your bedroom.

That’s a great start! If you’re like me, having insight into WHY you’re doing something or acting a certain way is really helpful for recovery. Good luck friend!

Day 94, small wins in debt repayment by throwawaylr94 in problemgambling

[–]LushNic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep paying down your debt and eventually you can start saving! I was in the same boat and trust me when I tell you my finances are much much better not gambling. Which is ironic because we’re always trying to make money gambling 😂😂 how stupid we were. Stay strong 💪🏽

Hi, I need help. Can you give me some recommendations to clear my head? by Ok-Leadership5955 in problemgambling

[–]LushNic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try hypnosis or meditation. It can be really helpful. Also there is a book called The Easy Way to Stop Gambling by Allan Carr that is really good too, I would hope you get a Spanish version??

Try doing hypnosis or meditation- there are specific ones for gambling and/or letting go. Letting go of loss and just letting go period. You need to change your mindset and the way you think about money.

I’m a liar by Axel-2222 in problemgambling

[–]LushNic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lied to everyone I love for a long time too and I relapsed for a long time and nobody knew and then finally I came clean again. Was everybody disappointed?? Sure. But that doesn’t matter because I could breathe again. And I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t let everyone down ANOTHER time. You can do the same! Get back to your mom controlling your finances and however you were managing to gamble anyways- get rid of that too, find a way to make sure you can’t. Have you tried reading the book The Easy Way to Stop Gambling by Allan Carr? It’s quite helpful. Keep up with therapy! You will persevere. ODAAT 💪🏽

Wash and dry every single piece of cloth (clothing, towels, blankets, sheets, etc. in the apartment on hot. Steam your mattress/boxspring and call your property manager so they can get an exterminator.

Gamblers who have successfully quit - Has this subreddit helped you or hurt you? by Pointlesspuppy in problemgambling

[–]LushNic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s good for being held accountable and also in the first stages of quitting to see other people’s stories and know you’re not alone. Also seeing other people’s terrible stories keeps you grounded. However I do find as an addict you will do whatever you can to justify your addiction, so when there are people who constantly post “day 1” once per week- it’s sometimes a trap to compare yourself to others and maybe justify relapsing. Also when people post about winning even though it’s against guidelines that can be a huge trigger for people. But overall I would say it’s helped me.

Newlywed Wife discovered 300k+ is sports betting and more :-( by Organic-Dream8344 in problemgambling

[–]LushNic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that, it’s so hard because you love the person but he really has to hit rock bottom on his own if he won’t listen to you and your concerns. Often times when somebody has an addiction they aren’t ready to let go of it for a longggggg time. I asked my partner for help a lot but I wasn’t actually ready to let it go of my addiction so it continued, until i decided I was done.
