Hello. Last night I finally promised myself to seek help for a 30 year addiction to gambling I think I have hit rock bottom and I need and want help. I’m happy this is my first step because I know I can’t conquer this alone.
Sending you love and support. Im 39, been a problem gambler since 19. Im ready, finally, to change my behavior. Lets do this 1 day at a time. About to go onto day 5. This site has been amazing. Not that i enjoy hearing about other people struggling with the same illness, but its refreshing in a way to be around people who i feel understand me and who has been there before and was able to move on and live a healthier and happier life. Glad you are reaching out.
It really ‘does’ help coming here and finding people who really understand… and get suggestions for how to deal with it. You might also find a GA meeting in your area… or someone who will support you during this time. Also finding something you can do to take your mind to a different place…. maybe a hobby of some kind or whatever… I know I do acrylic painting as do some others here, but if that’s not an interest for you, perhaps something else… take care… ‘and one day at a time’ Lindy
