After years and years of burying my head in the sand I’ve become to realise how bad my gambling has got, when it comes to payday I blow the whole entire wages gambling that day or in a few days and then am trying to rely on people helping me out but now I don’t have anyone and don’t know what to do

I will loss lot of money
I have just decided the same enough is enough. I’ve had a gambling addiction for years always dragging me down and leaving me struggling month to month. I never open up to anyone about my struggle. I can’t keep doing this. Good luck
Hi
How at one time did I think that I loved gambling.
Then in time I got to understand that because of the pains and fears I was causing my self that I was on an adrenaline rush.
Being in the recovery program I understood that my addictions and obsessions were a form of self abuse.
If my boss asked me to woprk a month with out pay how would I react to that question.
Yet time and time again I would give my moey away with out any healthy benefits what so ever.
At what time would I say to my self self abuse is unhealthy for me and my family.
What day do I say to my self Enough is enough.
Just for today only I will not gamble.
Just for today only I will exchange my unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
At what time would I learn to respect my self.
At what time would I learn to love my self.
Healing and peace to every one.
