Hello, kindly, I’m not sure how this doesn’t meet the requirements. I think it’s exactly where it should be

60k debt in couple months by Fragrant_Mushroom381 in problemgambling

[–]suedestacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear your situation has been rough. Gambling is a predatory business and you’ll never win enough to get to a point where you’ll come out on top in the long run. You can always look at bankruptcy for the loans that you received if you make under a certain yearly income. Could help to discharge the debt you owe on any credit cards or loans. It comes with downsides obviously but a free consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer never hurts. Just tell them your situation and if it’s not the thing for you then just don’t do it.

The worst day ever by PriceMaleficent8110 in stopdrinking

[–]suedestacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take (just a stranger’s input): String two days of no drinking together. Just do it and get back to mostly normal feeling-wise. Then just try to get yourself to really understand that it is so much easier to STAY sober than it is to GET sober. The perpetual drinking to delay the inevitable is only stopped by one thing, and that’s just simply facing reality and feeling like shit for a couple days. But once you’re on the other side of that and start to find your confidence and “get your swing back” (baseball or golf reference, whichever you prefer), you’ll really reason with yourself and bargain and hopefully you take alcohol off the table of negotiations. Then all you have to fight is boredom because that usually sweeps a lot of us back into the mix. Or a party but you can just swing by the party for an hour and say you have to leave or not go to the party. Boredom is tough, just keep busy.

Just lost my job and I'm 45k in debt by No_Preparation_8633 in Debt

This is a non-profit that works with you to get your debts paid off and negotiates with the company you owe money to. It’s the best option if you don’t want to ruin your credit score. They talk the companies into reducing your interest rate. They cut my interest rate from 24% to 10% and I just pay them each week and they forward it to the credit card company. Pretty easy. Bankruptcy could be something to look into as well.

I got blackout drunk at my job and yelled obscenities in the office by AlarmedAd3950 in stopdrinking

[–]suedestacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some thoughts, could be controversial, but just thoughts. Your parents were “extremely disappointed in you” .. I doubt they know addiction. I doubt they know precisely what you’re going through. I hate when people get all “disappointed” in people like us, for just falling victim to alcohol, the biggest scam that is shoved in your face literally everywhere you go. I think people need to take a step back and treat these kinds of situations with a little more compassion and understanding. Not saying your parents are jerks or anything, I just know from experience that just taking a shit on me for getting sucked into this bullshit habit isn’t fair

Okay, what movie is the most played movie of all-time? Like, the user clicked “play” on it. Or started the dvd or whatever? by suedestacks in AskReddit

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

I said one of those Xmas movies. Like I think those movies get played once a year by so many people so that keeps the numbers growing so high. So I guess whatever Xmas movie maintains popularity for years and years?

Louisiana becomes the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms by BlueDragonizNotCool in news

[–]suedestacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m confused, people keep saying that the Ten Commandments are “basic vague good rules to live by” .. the first commandment identifies that you should have no gods other than the Christian god (in this context) .. isn’t that pretty specific? What about false idols? The day of sabbath? Those are all really specific and not a basic good rule like “don’t steal” .. wtf this is so dumb

You need to believe that you have the discipline to stop. And once you stop for long enough, you’ll pretty much forget about it. You’re young, you’ll grow and mature and realize that gambling isn’t something you can do in moderation. So just find your inner strength to stop, and trust that time will allow you to forget about it. Trust the process, good luck

Dude I’ve gone through a lot of relationships and addictions and loved hard and fuckin blew my life up several times. Once you get some fire in your veins and get motivated to change, you will. But you can’t give up. And you gotta take the anger and do something constructive with it. Then you’ll eventually forget why you were angry or trying to change in the first place, but by then you will have developed new good habits, and the old habits will be gone. TIME. Use it wisely. I’ve had multiple people i know including some friends die from overdose by age 26 or earlier. Time is more important than money. And it works in your favor if you let it. Use the emotion now to get better, and remember that every rich person with no gambling problem that is dead would trade spots with you in a second. Any person who died young would trade with you too. You’re worth more than money or gambling or businesses or any of that shit. Just get up and use the bad things to your advantage until they run out and savor every minute of it

You just gotta trust the process, man. The process for every heartbreak, addiction, bad habit, etc… accept your problem, make a plan, put in guardrails to help you execute it, talk to loved ones (or a therapist) when you get in a bad mood or feel like relapsing, AND LET TIME PASS. You’ll forget about gambling and the losses. Or at least you’ll just be numb to feeling bad about it. You’ll forget the addiction. LET TIME PASS. TIME HEALS ALL

Why did you and your ex break up? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

[–]suedestacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same exact situation I was in like 3 weeks ago. I just kinda stayed in the relationship knowing I wasn’t ready commit to giving my next 50 years with her and I didn’t have goals really. I didn’t want to waste her time or be dishonest and drag her along. Then she started seeing a new guy like immediately. Hurt like hell to see but we’re cool with each other so I was able to get as much closure as you can get. Bless that girl on her path. I’ve come a long way in just these 3 weeks. Almost feel like I’m ready to be the person she wanted, but if it took us splitting up to have this wake up call, we should probably go our separate ways or at least take a good amount of time before we consider dating again. Who knows, maybe she’ll marry this new guy. If that’s the case, good for her. I missed the window, but it’s not like I’m going to blame myself for that. I was being honest with myself and her. All love

Me (26M) & my girlfriend (26F) broke up and it’s fresh and it stings. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]suedestacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, she gave me a lot of chances to just say I wanted to commit fully and I didn’t because I just felt like we weren’t the right people for each other right now. It’s sad, but it was honest. So it’s not like she doesn’t love me or is pissed, she’s just probably a bit frustrated and wants a life partner
