Yes ga meetings can be like "What am I doing here in a room full of strangers sharing my gambling problem?Well they are real people with a common cause and that is to try and stop gambling forever by following a programme for recovery maybe not everyones cup of tea but for some its vital.Ok you dont have to be best friends with the members but its two hours a week away from gambling.I find it ok a small sacrifice to help me stay gf so far its been very helpful.Remember there is no magic solution to any addiction but helping yourself and recognising what works best for each individual.Long as anyone wants to be serious and admit that they can not do this alone then thats a good sign and will help them recover .Remember if you either come on hear contact gamcare or go to ga then thats small step than lead to bigger steps and a better life being gf.
I read stories on here and always wonder how they are getting on now 2 years later, and it worries me. I feel so sorry for the partners effected by this digusting habit, i pray that you and your husband are living a better life now and your family is all ok. But i know how gambling can end up and what hole it can put you in, i couldnt hurt my girlfriend anymore or my family so i was about to end everything i was in such a dark place but i havent gambled now for 3 weeks and finally telling my parents i had a problem saved my life. I hope all is well with you and you are having a nice time with your husband x
