Hi
I'm reasonably young and only last night i made the realisation that my gambling habits are already going too far. I spent a good chunk of the night talking to GamCare and decided to start an account on here
im determined to kick these habits out before they get too far and i figure talking to others who have been through the same may help in the long run.
Hi
Thank you for your sharing.
Yes for me the gambling addiction just indicated that I was not healing my pains or reducing my fears but was making things much worse.
By attending the recovery mettings over some time helped me understand how emotionally vulnerable I was.
The most important thing to remember no matter when I last gambled keep going to meetings.
The recovery mettings helped understand that I was not a bad or evil person I was just a very unhealthy person.
Being young in the recovery program will help you save your self from a lot of pain and suffering.
I have been in recovery now over 50 years.
If I have not gambled in over 32 years why do I go to meetings today.
Because by sharing so much honesty and therapies I get to make healthier choices today.
