Hello again was only here last year after trying to get better and failing and relapsing yet again! So mad at myself! The biggest problem I am having is waking up every morning and needing to gamble and If I don't I am the nastiest girl out there moody aggressive violent flinging things at my walls while my partner is at work I'm posting here because I feel so bored with life if I'm not gambling! Does anyone else have this feeling? Like life feels boring and pointless without something like gambling to make every day more exciting I know it sounds awful sorry 🙁

Sounds a familiar story.

You need to find ways to occupy yourself while your partner is at work , I found when I was in a similar situation I was bored with life and my time with my partner had become dull too so found new ways to entertain myself and unfortunately dumped my partner in the process , she was part of my upset and a reason I gambled.

Have you considered starting a recovery diary ?

Thanks joy and john for your kind comments don't worry it isn't awkward lol I'm glad that I'm not the only one that feels this way.the boredom is tearing me apart and I'm getting my dog back tomorrow from my mother and father in laws however I'm dreading it why is that? Is it because he will just be another reason for me to get angry I need help with this issue also. So many problems and I hate bothering people with problems because everyone has their own issues, sorry. On a brighter note i am going to GA tonight for the first time terrified! I have to tell a room full of strangers that I'm an addict.. Hopefully this may be the answer! Will post on here to tell you all how it went.

Hi Kimmi

I know exactly how you feel

Yesterday i was paceing up and down like a lunatic

Couldant even stand to be around my granchild who i adore when not in the mist of this addiction

I had a very bad gambling addiction in my younger years

Like you i needed the rush gambling gave me

The way i stopped was to find some focus i set my self a gaol at the time

By the time i reached my goal my need to gamble had reduced and i could fight the inpulsess

This lasted for over tewenty year before i fell of the wagen and lost everything

so what i am saying is find focus a hobby you would enjoy and never let your guard down when it comes to gambling
