So this is a bit of a random thought but it's the Grand National coming up next week. An event which is 'a bit of fun' for most people is just going to be a reminder of everything that's gone wrong in my marriage. At work we will have a sweepstake and, the way I am feeling right now, I think I may just 'freak out' if anyone as much as even speaks to me about it, never mind asks me to pull straws. Has anyone got any tips for handling this?
A bit of a random one, I know. Think I just need to have some coping stategies up my sleeve in advance....
Thank you
i just tell people i don't gamble anymore
i've got a problem with gambling
however everyone handles it differently
you could say your religion prohibits you from gambling
you could say you just don't want to
if i want a bet i'll find a reason to gamble
hope i keep finding a daily reason not to
Just try not to worry about it 🙂 my work no ive had a gambling problem they no I still gamble but have alot more control over it again now through counselling... but im still in charge of the whole organising of the sweepstake at my work and if I enter it or not I will take pleasure in organising it for my mates to have fun and a laugh between each othet.. stay strong and remember saying no thanks is always an option
