I'm feeling really resentful at the moment, I know it is what it is but my adult son is really ill, I want to scream, shout and cry it's been on and off like this since he was 6 months old my head can't cope with it , I'm feeling isolated, I can't relate to others, gambling has been my crutch, I have female support from someone but she doesn't live local to me, am I feeling sorry for myself? I'm worried my addiction is going to kick in again
Hi Dorothy please don't take this in wrong way but us gamblers people who have issues with gambling would always find an excuse to gamble and after moneys are gone we tent to feel sorry for ourselves or want others to feel sorry for us.If I was looking for a reason why I gambled when I gambled I could put it on my children's life's,their health,my health,my job,my friends,my family members,neighbour,having bad day,or any other crisis in my life,my childhood,my parents,my upbringing or anything else I could think of.
Why I gambled is not relevant.Whats important is that u no longer have that temptations or urges to gamble.Gambling is a lie and it will destroy you.I fully understand that in difficult times we human beings are looking for escapism either in gambling or drugs drink.
You're hurting your all body more then you can imagine.Body can fight this only for so long.Thats why so many of us suffer from mental health illness,cancers,you name it.
Life is very precious and us living painful life's are looking to numb this for some periods of time.I really get you.But that's not the way.
Gambling have destroyed 50% of my life of the years that I can't take back.Almost 25 years living this fake dream that gambling will solve my worries financial or emotional worries.
It made my life lot worst then it could of been.Think of your family and yourself.I know its painfull seeing your family member I'll and you probably asking yourself why us.
Nobody got it perfect believe me,but don't make it worse with gambling.Sending lots of love xx
