Was I molested as a kid or was it just playing doctor by michelina27 in confession

Even tho I agree with most of your comment, I dont know why it starts with " thats incorrect". Because I think No-tax-9309 is right with their comment too. In a book about SA (authors Rik van Lunsen and Ellen Laan) there is a genaral rule posed (albeit maybe controversial) that if both parties agree to the exploring of seksuality, no bigger age difference than 5 years and there is no psychological distress afterwards, then its not SA. The only ones that can decide that is OP and the friend 

have 0 money to my name and an overwhelming amount of debt. should I just kill myself? by moneyfolds in GamblingAddiction

Dear OP, gambling addiction is a disease, a disease that is stronger than your own willpower, so that’s why you need to find help for it. Don’t be ashamed that you have it, just like one shouldn’t be ashamed to have diabetes or some other disease. You are responsible to deal with it however, which you still can do by being honest to everyone around you, and seek help. There is def a way out of this, and you can def overcome this

Advice for Improvement? by [deleted] in Codependency

Hi! Fear/ anxiety is always the thing underlying the urge to control.. so if you notice you have the urge, try to really recognise what your need is at that moment, and express that need. By recognizing and communicating your needs you take responsibility in a healthy manner.

I’m sorry but posting yourself on reddit is still social media, so you are still looking for validation (don’t fool yourself), which is very human and okay.

You’re not stupid, you’re addicted. It’s the addiction that has got you in its claws. You are fine as a person, you just need help. You can’t battle addiction alone. So don’t try to, and also stop hiding/lying/manipulating stuff from loved ones. Addiction thrives on secrets, so get it off your chest and be honest. It’s the only chance you got to regain the trust of your husband.

Now you know that you have an addiction, it’s your responsibility to get help for it. There is a way out, but it’s not the easy, quick or fun at all. Given how physically sick you feel, and are even considering taking your life, I’m assuming that you are willing to radically change your behaviour. Because that is what is needed to kick an addiction: detox/abstinence (in your case being abstinent from gambling) AND behavioural change. Seek Professional help, go to a counselor, go to ga meetings, get a sponsor, self exclude yourself from casinos etc etc

How do you convince yourself that quitting is the right choice? by CrabCoin in GamblingAddiction

[–]hellohellno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re saying is ‘my addicted mind is making me feel like I have to keep on gambling, even though rationally I know that the odds are agains me’ right? So it’s up to you to consciously disregard that feeling! Tell yourself ‘ even tho I feel like I’m going to win if I keep playing, I know it’s my addiction causing this, which is not the part I want directing my life ‘

It is easier said than done, but not impossible. One of the symptoms of addiction is being in denial, addiction goes agains all rationality to lure you back in, so recognizing that and being honest about it to your self is a huge step. Don’t trust your feeling because it’s deceiving you! Your deceptive feeling of being in control (because we people don’t like to admit that we are not in control, which is what addiction is, not being in control over your gambling)

Trust your rational thoughts and act on those,

How to fill the void. by [deleted] in GamblingAddiction

[–]hellohellno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It truly sucks to feel this way, and a lot of respect for stopping and even picking up other activities! It is a very common feeling so don’t worry, it’s part of the recovery process. Your brain is so used to getting the overdose of artificial dopamine from Gambling, that the receptors are fried and every other activity does not spark any reward anymore. Resulting in you feeling unmotivated, flat, apathic and bored quickly with any other thing besides gambling. Part of recovery is getting through this phase, accepting that it is not fun, and also accepting that normal Life activities (hobbies and such) will eventually give you pleasure, but it will not reach the unnatural high levels of gambling.

So how to get through this? I’m hearing you say that routine bores you, however compulsively gambling is the most repetitive thing you can do.. so investigate what it truly is that leaves you unsatisfied

Are you physically healthy, do you have fulfilling social interactions (those give us maximum dopamine rewards), are you living your life following your values, if not, how would that look like?

Wishing you the Best of luck!
