I've lost 16k and don't know what to do
I think youvneed stop. I was on debt 16K for gambling my husband took personal loans to help me clean it. But I can’t stop then back to gambling again then I have more debt I can’t pay and husband said he can’t help anymore he need look after family can’t keep supporting me on addiction problems. Then I try get DWP now hope they will help me for the debt and I can stop gambling back to normal life.
so I hope you can do the same thing . We stop we look forward not gamble anymore.
Hi
The money was just the fuel for my addiction.
Walking in to the recovery program I found that I needed more than one meeting per week just to abstain from my unhealthy habits.
I got to learn that going to meetings was important for me to find a much healthier life.
I also found out that the time and effort I put in to my gambling needed to greater than that in order for me to not only abstain from gambling but to exchange my unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
Could I explain or understand why I was so self destructive.
Could I admit to my self that my levels of fear were very unhealthy.
Could I admit to my self that my hurt inner child needed to heal.
Did I think it was possible to hand over all our finances and money over to my life.
I am glad that I was a compulsive gambler because by not going to the recovery program I would have never found out how emotionally vulnerable I was.
All the time and effort you put in to your recovery will help you find a much healthier life.
Today I do not want or need to gamble.
Today I do not want or need to lie or cause my self or other people more pains.
Love peace healing and serenity to every one.
