To be honest I feel like ga meetings never helped me long term maybe for a bit sometimes but than I gambled again. i honestly feel like ga isn’t that good and ga meetings aren’t for everyone. I would really like to see what the sucess rate of ga is cause I don’t see it being very helpful. I’m just sharing my thoughts here. I mean if ga works for someone it’s great but I find it unhelpful. I’m not saying I won’t go back to ga meetings I just gotta be honest what I think about it. I like this gamcare site so much better I honestly feel sorry for anyone who struggles with gambling. day 16 and clean today .
I don’t want to go back to gamblinh ever again .
Hi Peter I could not agree more with everything you said here.I have experienced exactly the same issue like you just said from first word to the last that you mentioned.Its exactly like that
I also stopped GA meetings for same reason like you.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Take care and stay free from gambling
I agree with u Peter i felt in Ga i struggled to open up to people and felt i was being judged, i found it too intense and was affecting my mental health it was Ga which eventually recomended trying Gamcare chat and im glad they did i feel i can relate to people and their no pressure on me, am on day 156 g/f and i couldnt be happier
Ga isn't for everyone. Just like sharing thoughts online isn't for everyone. Just do what works for you. Wanting to quit gambling is half the battle in my opinion. Im on day 100 and I don't ever want to go back either.
I kept a diary of everything I was feeling when I came to the end of my gambling journey. When I knew I wanted to quit but felt Weak you know. I look back at this to help me if I feel the urge. It's helped once, it made me realise that road was full of self destruction and it was like I was punishing myselfit was very dark place and I never want to go back there.
Good luck on your recovery whichever route you take ❤️
