Hi all,
i have been on here many time before and told my story. Basically due to gambling
i am nearly half way through an IVA. I have managed to go 18 months in the past
gambling free, but over the last year or so i keep slipping back into it and
it is very frustrating. Anyway it is time to start again. i know i am crazy to gamble
considering i am in an IVA as well its just mental. I feel i would like to attend a
GA meeting but i too scared. it would be good to meet other people in the same situation,
since i find talking to friends doesnt help that much. if you arent addicted then
i dont think you can fully understand what its like?
anyway thanks for the advice and support once again,
dan
Hi Dan
Sorry to hear about you going back but youve stopped before so you know you can do it again. For good this time. Find a GA meeting, if you want to go as it may well help. You say you are too scared but I would say the far more scarier option would be to carry on gambling for another year so go for it!
Best wishes
Linda
