Im scared that im addicted to gambling?
I'm VERY glad that you have a fear that you're addicted. You SHOULD be scared! I always wish for anyone going to the casino for the first time that they lose. On my first trip, I won about the same as you did - it was $200. That was by far the worst thing that could have ever happened to me. In my head I "knew" that I could do it again. I said things to myself like, "If I do the same things I'll win again", and "If I use this system of betting I know I can beat these games". I actually thought that I had figured something out that nobody in history had ever figured out - and that was how to beat casino games. It took years and years, and tens of thousands of dollars before I finally accepted the fact that I was wrong. The funny thing is that I am GOOD with math. I KNEW the odds were against me, but that "winning" feeling was so alluring, that I just had to have that feeling again! BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!!! This fear is healthy! Make sure you tell yourself one important thing: The reason you won 150 bucks is 100% out of SHEER LUCK! YOU did not do something "smart" or "right". YOU do not know something that nobody else knows. YOU have not figured out a way to beat ANY game. You got damn lucky, and that's all it was. In your lifetime there is one simple formula: The more you gamble, the more money in your lifetime that you will lose. Next time you go you MIGHT win again. It doesn't matter. You WILL lose more than you win, there is NO WAY around that fact.
I'm addicted to porn help me, please i'm scared, i'm 13?
I'm addicted to porn help me, please i'm scared, i'm 13. I watch it every day and i'm becoming sick. I'm not a pervert at heart i don't look at a girl and think about sex. I like women for who they are and i'm a lot better than most kids my age, but when it comes to a 20 year old lesbian with her friend i can't help myself. I don't want to watch porn or masturbate. I know it's naturalbut i want to be in the 1% of the poplatuion that doesn't. Can you give me some tips to stop. My dad has put up a firewall but i can pass that by going on proxy sites. (don't worry if you don't know what that means.) I can't stop myself are there any exersises or methods that can stop me and my urges. Thanks a lot.
I'm addicted to Yaoi. I'm scared I will get caught.?
I recently discovered Yaoi manga and I can't stop reading it. I'm a huge Legend of Zelda fan and I started to ship Red x Blue, and Shadow x Vio. I thought nothing of it. I made a Instagram for Zelda Yaoi. I discovered a Yaoi manga called Totally Captivated. I started reading more and more Yaoi, I like possessive semes. But my main problem is that I have over protective parents. I'm pretty young and I'm pretty much reading Hentai. I feel bad and I'm scared I will get caught. I'm reading them on my phone and iPod which are locked with a long password. I was reading You're my Loveprize in Viewfinder when my iPod froze! It was awful, I was so scared! It reseted on its own, but I'm really nervous something bad will happen and I will get caught.... What should I do, and I'm not quitting...
Will I get addicted to porn? I'm scared?
How old are you? Age matters in these types of situations... Under 14 porn watching = Altered Brain Development. Over 14 = Not that big a deal unless you're actually an addict. Be it porn or heroin, a person without a trauma history and the genetics for addiction can't become an addict... Addiction is defined not by how much or how often but the inability to stop in the face of mounting consequences. Meaning: If you can stop, do so. If you can't stop, seek treatment... Be it 12-Step (S.A.) or a therapist. Liking porn doesn't mean you'll become an addict... I'm female and I like porn a lot but it's like chocolate... Good once and a while but if it's all you think about, you have a problem. The POINT of porn is to get aroused and, usually, climax... If you watched porn and got no different a feeling then when you watched a Disney film, it would mean that porn is pointless to you. (As for people that get turned on by Disney films, that's a totally different topic. LOL) As I said above, addiction is defined by CONSEQUENCES... 1. Your use interferes with school or work. 2. Your use interferes with relationships with family and friends. 3. Your use results in legal problems. 4. Your use results in financial problems. 5. Your use causes you shame. 6. Your use interferes with hobbies or other activities.
I am really scared of becoming a drug addict?
Hi Emma, That's really cool that you are self-aware ...knowledge will be your best ally!! I'm kinda in the same boat, but I took that 'step off the edge' after I got disabled in Iraq & was given TONS of pain medications. Problem was, it replaced ALL the good things in my life & lost everything. I still get a decent monthly check, so could continue, buy that is such a hellish life. It only goes one direction...DOWN!! My wife took my 2yr old daughter & left me, lost my house (before I got a VA check), lost about all my possessions, & you CAN't hide addiction from those close to you. It will wreck relationships. Trust me, you will become a slave & have to stay high to avoid getting sick!! You're VERY fortunate to have the choice right now. As a person that cares, I really hope you can resist that 'pull' of temptation. I'm a bit of a rebel & that was my final undoing in not resisting temptation ...it was only fun for a short while ...then you become a 'bum' even with money! Please know I'm not exaggerating. I'm thankfully on a detox program now that involves strict behavioral & medication regiment. All my friends in recovery also wish we had a chance to make 'the other choice' again & NOT use. Alcohol is always the starter & since it lowered inhibition, it leads to worse things for a 'better' or 'different' high. Good luck to you Emma!! I really pray for you ...that takes courage to see that about yourself plus you're very smart!! -SgtOfHeart
I'm afraid i'm addicted to drugs?
i smoked weed for the first time at 13, drank alcohol at 12 and smoked cigarettes at 12. Until a year ago i was smoking one or two cigarettes a day, drinking three times a month and once or twice times smoking weed, a month. Last year i got really into drugs and lots of things happened and now i smoke 10 cigs a day, drink three times a week and smoke weed everyday. I also take prescription drugs (xanax, lorazepam, anything i can get my hands on, really) a few times a week. I feel really light and weird most of the times, especially when i take pills, i feel like i'm on heroin (never tried it)...so light and floating in the clouds...my friends(they smoke daily as well but that's it) and me always laughed about drug addicts but now i wonder if i'm classified as one too? I'm 16 by the way. Last year i used to see a therapist once a week (not because of this) but i didn't find it really helpful so i quit. She couldn't diagnose me because in my country you cant diagnose mental illnesses to minors but, after her suggesting it and lots of researches, i'm pretty sure i have depression and BPD. Help
I think I'm addicted to porn. What should I do?
Fear not for I can tell you that discovering you have one in the first place is one of the most amazing things you can ever hope to realize.Harriet Tubman had helped over a 1,000 slaves break free and get to the north.When asked if she would ever go back and help more slaves become free she said she would’ve freed more slaves if only they knew they were still a slave.Powerful right?It’s the fact that you actually want to understand what’s going on in your boy and to help understand the serious of this addiction and I just want to say I’m proud of you for asking.As for what you should do?LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT PORN ADDICTION.I know it sounds like going back to school but as research about how Porn use affects the Brain and how you change while looking at it daily, you’ll start to see this scientifically rather than hopelessly.When I first started to get through it I found out about Gary Wilson athor of your Brain on Porn.He has a forum full of people with Support research and tools to help you understand what your going through. You don’t have to fight this alone take the first step hereYour Brain On Porn
