After years and years of gambling and promising myself and my partner not to fall back into the evil trap I seem to struggle with keeping myself under control. The chatroom tonight was my first experience of talking to others about my issues and I think it’s helped me clear my head to see similar people in similar situations. Friday I relapsed again and was back to square 1. I believe if you want to get yourself back on track with the right help from GamCare and the team it is possible.
Hi
For me I gave up making promises I could not keep.
Just for today I will or just for today I will not.
For me the recovery program was about healing my pains and becoming a much healthier person.
Walking in t the recovery program I was not an evil person,
I was not a dumb person, I was not a stupid person, I was just an emotional vulnerable person.
I had certain emotional triggers and in time I would stop reacting in unhealthy ways to those emotional triggers.
I was filled with pains fears and frustrations on walking in to the recovery program.
It was a horrible life being a lonely vulnerable person.
One day a person after hearing my therapy took me to one side and told me he could hear my fears in my therapy.
He told me it was my hurt inner child that was living in fear of being caused pains again.
