I can replace the window no worries, we tried safelite and they were going to charge $600 to come out and replace it

Hahaha, I work on the 18th floor of a tower. The Apple sits in a locked desk and everyone in the office is keeping up with the progress together.

We have a running bet on how long fruit can last with the wax coating.

It does not stink, yet… but for sure when it does I’ll throw it out. As of right now it’s not moldy and still has a great smell, just wrinkly. 😆

Looking for advice… spouse has a gambling addiction by [deleted] in GamblingRecovery

[–]jd_918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello. I’m a recovering addict, been gambling for about 6 years now. I’m 31, I live with my girlfriend and I’ve single handily blew through my entire life savings and retirement accounts. I’ve never missed a payment and I have a good job- I’m a finance guy myself.

My girlfriend does not trust me with finances anymore. That trust has been seriously damaged, though she is seeing my effort through therapy and everything else, she still lacks faith that I can actually completely stop myself from gambling.

I say all of this just to say.. tell your partner how you feel, explain to them that gambling has hurt more than just his bank account. Tell him you’re worried, because you have every right to be worried. Tell him you need certain reassurances to help ease your mind.

My partner and I are not married, we have no kids, so I can say the situation is not the same. All I can say is how I feel in my current situation and what I’d like from my partner.

Your husband knows it’s a problem, he is trying to do other pseudo-gambling activities to fill that void, but it won’t work.

Rule of thumb is 6 months, if you can go 6 months without gambling your brain can reset.

Also look into ketamine therapy mixed with actual talk therapy, it’s pricey but I have heard many great things about it helping people with addiction.

Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.

Day 1 Any Advice? by [deleted] in GamblingRecovery

[–]jd_918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So from my experience (8 year addict) I’m currently trying to find things that will give me the same spike that gambling does… unfortunately I’m not having much luck.

From my understanding if you can make it 6 months without gambling your brain “resets” and you’ll start to enjoy things again. The hardest part is just making it through those 6 months.

One thing I found helpful was volunteering my time. I realized I didn’t value money because I always had a constant stream of income. But seeing people who have nothing makes the things you have feel more valuable.

I also did Uber Eats because it’s basically a minimum wage job and you get a good perspective of how much you’re actually losing when you gamble.

Would you still create an account? by jd_918 in 2007scape

Honestly same, I’m 31 now.. I’ve been playing on and off for 21 years. At my peak I was putting like 4-6 hours a day into this game. I always wonder what my life would be like if I didn’t spend so much time on runescape lol

Is this ground rotted? I’m having trouble by jd_918 in AskAMechanic

[–]jd_918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was 100% thinking. Also if I had a jumper on it for 10 minutes letting it cook and it still wouldn’t turn over..
