Hi Berta
nThings can become very bad quite quickly with gambling addiction. What surprised me is how quickly they can improve once we stop.
n
nI think for many of us women the why is low self esteem or a relationship which has chipped away at our confidence. Whatever the reason, I found it helpful to make it impossible to gamble. In the early days when gambling was an automatic process for me, I had layers of barriers so that I had thinking time.

nKeep your eye on the prize Bertha – the prize is a happier life for you. It is worth more than any jackpot we could ever win.
n
nAccept that you will never win- your brain is forever changed by addiction and even the biggest win will just keep you in action longer. Eventually the balance will hit zero and you will spend days berating yourself hat you didnt cash out… the brainwashing of addiction is the same for us all- endless cycles of highs and lows until we crash.
n
nKeep strong Bertha – attend support groups online or in person and really accept that you deserve a life free from this horrible addiction.
