The last couple of days, since I made the decision to seek help for my addiction, have been a bit of a blur but today I properly started my journey on the road to recovery.
Having put in place GAMSTOP blocks and installing GAMBAN on to my devices yesterday, today I went through the process of putting all my finances into my wife's control and attended my first GA meeting.
I didn't know what to expect but it was reassuring to see that there are others just like me that I could talk to as an equal rather than being judged for what I've done. I'm feeling extremely positive about overcoming this and staying on the right path.

It's a great feeling to pull it all together and start a new chapter.

Hi
I am a non religious person and if I can do it so can you.
Well done on making the decision to seek help for your unhealthy addiction.
It is a healthy choice puting in place GAMSTOP blocks and installing GAMBAN on to my devices yesterday.
You have done the healthy process of putting all my finances into your wife's control healthy choice, and attended my first GA meeting another healthy choice. Well done.
The wording in recovery used is humbling our self, yet humbling our self is about being an equal rather than less than we are.
Often the guilt shame and regret is remaining living in continuous pain, we cause our self pain by judging our self in unhealthy ways.
Can we change history or change was pains have happened in the past.
No but today as I get healthy I learn to heal my pains in healthy ways.
What you have done is being unhealthy.
To daily exchange our unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
When people clap people on their last bet date they are helping and encouraging our honesty to or self and to others.
The more honest we are indicates we live in far less fear today.
THank you for your sharing
