Hi
so I wrote a post asking about GA some days ago and with my parents decided that I will go to my first meeting which was last night.
I felt emotional listening to people and when it was my time to speak, having thought of what to say all day, my mind was all over the place and I think I was blabbering about random gambling traits I have and experiences but the group were really nice and discussed many of my points and understood.
I was worried about judgement or some of my actions being deemed just plain dumb by people but quickly realised we’re all much more similar than I thought we would be.
I’m still quite emotional about everything and still trying to figure life works without gambling in it. But after hearing others I see it’s possible and perhaps there is a better life for me out there.
Well done mate. Keep it up.
Well done, it is tough but you are taking the right steps. X
Affected by gambling?
