So today I have my phone call from Beacon It was a question air before I start my therapy I’m still 626 days gamble free only the last couple weeks I turned to my partner to gamble for me this made me guilty and feel I need help so I was in contact with gamcare over what’s app and they contacted beacon. I realise I haven’t gambled but I could relapse after asking my partner to do it for me. Looking to the future now 😀
Hi
In time in my recovery I would learn to help myself.
I went to more meetings.
I asked for help and advice and when I did not understand I ask for advice from several people.
In time I would understand that the gambling addiction and my obsessions was just the symptoms that I was emotionally vulnerable, the emotional triggers indicated that I was vulnerable and reacted in some very unhealthy ways.
At the start it was very slow baby steps.
Handing over my finaces to another person was hard yet well wroth while.
Today I do not want to hurt my self or other people.
Just for today only I will not gamble, no matter what happens I will not gamble.
I know if I do gamble I make things much worse and I do not want to hurt my self or other any more.
Love healing and peace to everyone.
