Off to my second counselling session, feeling very nervous as I know she's going to delve into my childhood and stuff urgh. I feel like I can't be bothered 🙁 why can't I just be fixed and that's the end of it. I haven't gambled in a few weeks now, something which I'm really proud of but I know that's not the end of my problems.
I no how u feel i hated bringing all stuff up during counselling often made me feel worse, but in the end it gave me the strength and tools i needed to stop and even when relapsing i knew drom counselling what needed to be done. Hope your session goes well
All the best
Thanks for replying, it was really good but very emotional. She did warn me I would feel worse initially and that's not wrong. Onwards and upwards 🙂
Hope you dont mind me dropping you a line. Im new to here and have kicked the habit after lots of years of gambling. You seem like you have made a very significant first step by going to counselling. The key is to keep going to the sessions but always remember that if you want it bad enough then you WILL kick it. Honestly, it may seem like miles away but it does get better.
Keep thinking about that awful feeling when you had lost your money. How does it make u feel? Thats what did it for me. I didnt want to feel like that anymore.
You sound like your doing fantastic. Keep it going and it will get easier
Hope it goes well 🙂 xx
