Hi

The unhealthy gambling addiction was my way of escaping in my fears and in my pains.

The bigger the unhealthy risk the bigger the buzzz, the more alive I use to feel.

How I found a healthy recovery was a sequence of changes in my life.
 
Attend as many meetings as I needed to get healthier life.
 
I handed over my money and finances as I could not be trusted with money.
 
My addictions and my obsessions just indicated how emotionally vulnerable I was.
 
Then over time I got to understand what my unhealthy triggers were.
Emotional triggers for me my were pains I could not heal, another  emotional trigger were my were fears I could not face and reduce, another emotional trigger were my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations I could reduce, another emotional trigger were my fears of emotional intimacy and feeling a loner and emotionally disconnected from other people, another emotional trigger for me was boredom because I could feel productive in my self or felt worth while in myself and I was not able to commit to my needs my wants and in time set goals for me to achieve.

I am a non religious person so my recovery was more based up on my conscience based up on my own spiritual values.

For my recovery abstaining from unhealthy habits was important.

I handed over my money and finances to my wife, it felt like I was like a little boy being punished.

I like many did not stop gambling from day one.

Yet no matter hwn my last bet was keep going to meetings.

Some times peoples faces change when you are honest and admit your last bet.

It is not judgement it is the people in the recovery feeling your pains and your disappointments.

The like minded people help you help your live a much healthier life.

Once I stopped talking about money and gambling I could get focused on my life and give deep therapies.

The deep therapies lead to being more open, more honest less fears and in time a healthy intimacy.

THank you
