Oh dear, I haven't written here for many many months and for the most part I was doing ok. But then the gambling started again. I'll keep this short becasue even just writing about it feels horrible right now. I think I started gambling again because my life was going no where and I felt completely trapped looking after my elderly Mum right out in the middle of the countryside. I had given up my job to look after my mum. Money was ok but my head wasnt. I looked to internet gambling for some escapism. The last couple of days I completely emptied my bank account and then some. Just writing this feels like such a predictable and familiar story and I hate that. I hate the fact im so predictable, doing ok then messing everything up in one moment (or several moments) of madness. Last gambled this morning will update my progress. Thanks for reading.
Unfortunate circumstances, none the less welcome back barmy toad. Admirable priority in looking after your mum, Now need to seek out a healthier escapism and commit to trying a different route in tackling this insidious bs that we’ve become enslaved too..
