I have mucked up again after nealy losing everythink

Hi dan ,

The ironic thing is you have said ur solution in ur own post written by ur own fingers !

i then started going to ga meetings after my parter nearly left me and I stayed gamble free for just under a year I had to stop attending ga meetings

Get back to meets or attend another which is more accesable to you. Gambling will or has ruin peoples lifes, so the question is Do you work recovery around work or work around recovery ?

TC Jay.

I no this sounds I that I want it all my way I can't get to meetings on the set day they are on in my town due to having to work that night I can't get out of work for them and I am so sared that my parter will find out as if she no I have fallen again and I saw it would never happen again I fill I have no one to talk to as my famly and hers are so close nit I really don't no what I would do if I lost everythink I have aranged to book into see a councler and will make sure I long on everyday so at least I can read what I have wrote before as reminder of bad days

So wheres the nearest ga meeting you can get to? sounds like they were working.

so you slipped, ok, dont let the negative feeings about that undo all the good work you have done, you've been so strong already, one day at a time...

Why put work over Ga? It was working! No point having a job if your going to spend all you earn on gambling is there. You might as well stay @ home. Ok so that may sound flippant but the point is you found a solution that was working for you. Without recovery you have nothing, no partner, no job, no money, no friends. Its all about priorities & yours should be staying gamble free.

You are right I need to start trying to make at least half of the meeting even if it is as much as I can every little helps

Thank you everyone for advise I remmber when I was bet free for nealy a year I remmber how good it felt I just need to get back there like someone said one day at a time

Hi dan, I am new here and just about to start out stopping!! I hope you make it back to GA sounds like it really helped. Just about to find a local one to me. Good Luck, you already provided you can do it.

Well done Dan, I am new here and I have my first Councelling referral a week Friday. I really feel for you but I also take streangth from the fact you went a whole year without gambling so it can be done. Already when I get the urge to gamble I have decided to hit the forum instead. Its a small start but I haven't gambled for 24 hours and got the urge this morning but came here instead. Find your focus Dan and don't beat yourself up!

TonyT,

I come to this forum as part of my "keeping busy" policy. Every now and then I post ideas and help for others.

It does help me.

2015 challenge been good for me as well.

22 days free from the demon now.

Still obviously think about gambling but the urges seem to have decreased.

I've started to fill my time with all sorts of things to keep me away from gambling. That seems to help me. Rediscovered old things like keeping fit as strong exercise seems to help. Too knackered to gamble !

Cheers
