Hello everyone, first attempt posting here.
I am at a low point today, I gambled $200 I didn't have, and now I will be scrambling to cover it.
I am a few hundred to a thousand this year after temporarily being up a few thousand and chasing months ago.
I owe people money having taken funds from a business account, and I am sure I don't need to tell others here what I am feeling and thinking right now.
I previously used SMART recovery and their forum and have discovered it has been shut down, looking forward to exploring this community and learning what I need to stay stopped.
Â
I have had years of abstinence from gambling along with 6 years sober from alcohol, so I know I can do this, I feel burnt out from unhealthy habits in addition to gambling.
Welcome this is a great place be hoping that we can work through the challenges ahead for myself this week has been close to relapse everywhere I went to jobs the customer was watching the racing or settled down with a football bet on not to mention the scratch cards on offer at every turn just had to log in here then get out with the local walk and chat
 so it’s a constant battle let’s crack on
Affected by gambling?
