Been on gamstop for 10 years, but when my addiction wants to feed, it feeds.
I know I can stop, have done for 3 years but it seems I'm just putting my addiction back in the cage, and it's slowly picking the lock.
This relapse as hit me quite hard, probably because I was doing so well.
It hasn't hit me to hard financially, but mentally, manage to find ways to pass gamstop to feed my addiction but for doing this has drained all my enjoyment of doing things in my life.
This is hard as I have 3 kids and been in a 12 year relationship which is having a great toll on my family.
The thing is I go to work, pay my way for the kids and the house but know in the back of my mind it only takes that one time, that one moment of stupidity and we're back on s***s creek without a paddle
Hi Earos,
I can understand how you are feeling,it’s a dangerous addiction,I have recently relapsed and it comes to a point of finding peace and surrendering to it,it got me again,I’m sure it’s linked to emotions and the way you are feeling at the time, for me being out of work and not getting back in quickly enough caused me to seek that escape,crazy to people who have no understanding of it,I’m trying to be as active as I can at the moment waking 7 mile a day,it’s a great help,give up your finances and cards and ask someone you trust to look after it for you,no more stupid moments for me as it’s cost me dearly,I wish you well and hope you can get control of it again and to beat this for good this time!
