3 months clean but the first reminder today

What can gambling offer you Matt? It's not going to buy you a house, flash car, nappies...It will do what it always has & destroy you, leave you thinking like you do now that gambling is your only way out. It's bull! Credit ratings can be restored, don't let addiction suck you back in now! We hurt our loved ones when we gamble, you're not a failure, you just need to accept the help & support that is out there to help retrain your brain...Prove to your family that you can turn things around, prove it to yourself - ODAAT

Hi Matt, stay strong and positive and take note of the last two posts, they know what they are talking about both been gamble free for a lot longer then you and I. MInes 90 days and I'm not tempted at all because I remember how low gambling made me feel. There are ways of restoring your credit rating and gambling is not one of them. THink of the money you could save not to mention improving your health x

Long time to reply still going strong my councilling sessions have finished but I still feel going through this has made me a stronger person learning from your mistakes my child on the way will be proud of his father and I'll rebuild anything I damaged ! Thank you for the support everyone

Great just to see you still at it
Mate itl be absolutely worth it when you can support your child,
Imagine trying to by essentials for your child when your gambling mayby some weeks but you won't be able to the bad ones eh,
Do you attended GA meetings?

Good luck mate

3 and half years later still clean, the pain and low times were so awful but the support and self belief helped me beat the addiction

For me it was the shame of people finding out
