hi ya! after relapsing last night for the first time in a year! i've woke up this morning determined to carry on finding the strength to help myself from losing my fiancГ© and my newly bought dog and our house by trying to get help to over come those urges to gamble! i don't want to lose them and i know deep down that i can do this but just need some help! reading peoples stories of staying bet free inspires me! i'm trying to find a gamblers anonymous by where i live but i'm a little bit unsure about what its like going for the first time!
hi there, just read your comment and im in the same boat as you. my gambling has been going on for years now and i want to stop it. ive arranged some councelling and found a group thats on every friday near me but im worried about going as im not sure what its going to involve.
Hi tomlinson17 & Coup1988
First of all welcome to the site and I'm sure you will both find things on here that are very helpful as I did when I first gave up the gambling ! Don't either of you be worried what it's like going to a GA meeting as what ever you are thinking about them you are in a room with other people that are in the same boat as yourselves and I can tell you now that you will be able to relate to a lot of things people talk about ! It will be the best thing you have done walking through those doors for the first time and everyone will welcome you and most of all no one judges anyone, I have to travel 80 miles to attend my nearest GA meeting but get a lot from them ! Hope you both get to a GA meeting soon and I look forward to hearing from you both.
All the Best
Darren
