Hi everyone  Â
I have been reading everything possible on here for a relatively short time and have learnt so much and been and am impressed with all our efforts to have our best life
For years I thought that gambling was all the usual types we all know those I never really understood the trap of gradual high risk investment industryÂ
Maybe 40 years ago investment into shares etc was a safe paragon of smart money use and future planning but over the past 30 years it has changed so much to include cfd trading crypto high risk funds and the AIM shares marketsÂ
Its easy to see with hindsight where frugal investors went astray it becomes all encompassing to your weekly income very tired trying to make money from trading money
Its 24 hours a day stress and burnout follows then of course you think this next time I have a different strategy and sometimes it works but we all know we do not keep profit for a better life for our familyÂ
So thankful to all you guys and girls on here and to the superb support team here I will be helping others as much as I can it’s pricelessÂ

Hi
The gambling addiction or any addiction and obsessions just indicated how emotionally vulnerable we are.
Some people will often be heard saying that they loved Gambling.
Do people not know what love is.
I now know that that love is about healthy emotional intimate relationships with living creatures or people.
That it is not possible to have an intimate relationship with an obsesssion car house money.
For me the gambling addiction was a form of escape.
For me the gambling addiction was a form of self abuse.
For me the gambling addiction was a form of self neglect.
Working hard for your money then giving it to strangers while you suffer in your pains.
Walking out of a gambling having lost all of my hard earned money was very painful.
Gambling was just the symptoms that I was not coping well emotionally with life people and situations.
Gambling was just the symptoms that I was running away from my self.
Pains cause fears in us we do not understand.
By being able to abstain from my addictions obsessions just indicated that I was stpping hurting my self.
By abstain from my addictions obsessions was the point where emotionl therapies woud open me up to expose more of my hurt inner child.
My emtional triggers were my pains I could not heal.
My emtional triggers were my fears I could not reduce or face.
My emtional triggers were my frustrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life or situations.
My emtional triggers were my feelings of loneliness due to due to my fears of emotional intimacy.
My emtional triggers were due to my feelings of boredom because I was not fulfilling my needs my wants or my goals.
Money was just the fuel for my addictions and my obsessions.
Some people think or assume that having lots of money means that you are a successful person.
I nw understand that my successful feeelings come from my healthy achievements.
Healthy actions.
Healthy words.
In having a healthy conscience means that I do not go against any spirtual values.
By gettting some for nothing I am cheating my self.
By gettting some for cheap I am cheating my self.
How much more time and effort am I willing to invest in my healing my hurt inner child.
Why do people not use the telephone lists.
Why do people not ask for help or advice.
Why do people fear being honest.
Why do people live in guilt shame and regret from thier past unhealthy habits.
Healing Love and peace to every one.
