stephann

Meant to say i only got 2 yrs free from gamb in all those yrs.

I feel you. Ill be 40 this year and ive been a problem gambler since 18. Its exhausting to be honest, isnt it? I dont know about you but isolate a lot. I think we need to keep reaching out for support when we are vulnerable. Im on day 1 mate. 15 is a great start.

Changing your mindset helps… possibly find something else to replace the thinking ‘only’ of gambling and that ‘big win’ that never comes. Thinking that way and living constantly with disappointment after disappointment is draining not only of physical nature but your emotional and rational thinking. Remember every person likely on this…[Read more]

Take it one day at a time. I have been at day 1 many many many times. Just know that you are not alone and we are here to help and support you!

Definitely have high hopes for you Stephann. ❤️

Is this what you want your life to be about stephann? Do you want your obituary to read “she spent most of her life being a slave to her addiction”?? If you let this addiction take over stephann it won’t just take your money……It wants your happiness and your dignity too. It wants to isolate you from all the people that love and care about you…[Read more]

Sounds like your meeting went well that’s wonderful.
One day at a time. You know your not alone

OMG stephann!! That’s so great! Not only did you help yourself by attending a meeting but I guarantee you that you helped that man and probably others by reminding them of the pain and suffering caused by this addiction. Definitely a successful day!! Just keep stringing more days like that together and you’ll gain momentum in the positive dir…[Read more]

Hi stephan! So happy to hear you’re going to a GA meeting. I hope you make friends there and get the help you need. Have a wonderful day.

Stephann I’ve been where you are right now I know it’s not a fun place too be.
I did a lot of soul searching and reasoning with myself.
Getting away from an addiction that has a hold on a person unfortunately isn’t a one day or over night process. There’s probably more than one reason why you are doing what you are doing.
Like those pretty…[Read more]

Hi Stephann. I forget are you seeing a councillor or are you going too ga meetings.
Pretty hard too block what you are doing. So that I think is your best form of help.
Plus of course speaking here with your friends. ❤️

Stephann I’m sure we all feel beat up. We can relate with you. Good move on the GA.
Take care

I hear you stephann. I applaud you on not giving up on yourself. Keep fighting. You are not stuck with the thoughts that you think. When you feel your mindset is dragging you back down you have to fight back. That voice in your head that lures you back to gambling is like a four year old child that wants what it wants whenever it wants it with no…[Read more]

I hear you when you say Many, day1. I thought I was getting over my one ticket winning when I didn’t play it. It lasted for a day, and I tried to chase that too.
I can relate to waking up and not be able to sleep, or staying up all night. I’m sure we can all feel that pain you’re having because I have it and some here have it too.
You’re not alo…[Read more]

I’m thinking with every stride too stay away that’s one step closer too being away from gambling.
A person with a gambling addiction which we all here have needs too find new avenues too fill the gap that leaving gambling behind leaves.
So I guess and I’m speaking of myself here also a person needs too prioritize the people in their…[Read more]

I slipped up too but I have more days of not gambling then days I have gambled since I started coming here.
