Just thought I would come on and say what a great session I had today with the Gamcare counsillor.
I will be 4 weeks clean on Friday and am really struggling emotionally at the moment (I have lost my wife and children to this dreaded illness), but my counsellor was fantastic and after today's session, I feel much more positive.
Fingers crossed I can get through the next 24 hours without a bet, and then I will be feeling really positive
Hi Plum,
Great to hear you had a great session with your counsellor and you are taking steps towards recovery. What I found really useful during the early days while seeing a counsellor was to make a goal not to gamble between counselling sessions, mine were on the same day each week. Before I even realised there I had not gambled for a month. Of coarse this led to two months and the rest is history. As I say this helped me, just thought I would throw it out there.
Take care and keep fighting
