Day 1,a fresh start into abstaining from gambling.
I'm not new to this site,been on and off for 7 years,
I'd like to think I've made progress but all I've really done has put blocks up when I'm completely P****d off with my gambling life- then spent the rest of my time finding ways to get around the blocks.
I'm happily married with 2 kids,gambling has the power to ruin all of that.
I cannot handle money,luckily all my wages go into a joint account.
I had spare cash over Xmas,I was at a loss to know what to do with it,I started travelling to bookies away from where I live because of exclusions.
Fritted the spare cash away.
It's the control gambling has over me that scares me.
I willing to try new ways to help me abstain.
Tried ga,not for me - found a lot of strong characters took over the meetings,and the subject matters seem to drift away from problem gambling.
I've made a start tonight,I'm not in the best of moods'- I won't bore you with my latest gambling story of doom- this time being unlucky was the luckiest thing that could of happened to me.
Day 1

Fella welcome again, the doors revolve, it doesn't matter how many times we come through them,it's what we learn each time and leave on the other side of the door.
I get what you say about GA, that feeling can be taken from the room.
I know that there is no recipe or magic pill for us.
I wish there was!!
I hope you find happiness again through abstinence.
Abstain and maintain
