I only got 50 days and I’m new to all this. But I’m listening and want you to know you’re not alone. I’m going to prison soon for my actions and I hope you find the resources you need to stop today. Break the cycle and start a new life. Perhaps find a recovery hospital near you and check in my friend. You still have a new life waiting for you.
Thanks I’m most likely going to prison soon too I have court on the 30th :/
Adam, I may not be at your situation at this time. But I do understand what you are feeling. I just wanted you to know that your not alone and we care.
Hi Adam.Today i have 1 week free of a bet.I sometimes think to myself ifbi can stop gamb anybody can stop gamb becuz of how hard this has been for me.Its sounds like u have a good paying job and if you stopped gamb you could turn this around and be living a good life.This is the hardest thing ive ever had to deal with but somehow by attending meetings i managed to stop for this wk.I recently had almost 3 yrs free of gamb and in an instant went back to gamb.My main attracrion with gamb is lottery tixs!! I no for me the only thing that works is GA meetings.I hope you are able to stop and get sometime free of a bet and things will get better.
If you are having thoughts of suicide go to your hospital. Tell them you are homeless and addicted to gambling they will help you and point you in the right direction. I hope you are okay and safe. I’m hoping that you realize how important you are and deserve help. The waiting area might take awhile. Tell them that you have thought of suicide. Suicide is not the right way for you and you are important to people you haven’t even met yet. Stick around and come back here as often as you can.
