Thank you Lizbeth and Vera for replying.
Vera it was a long time coming. I have tried many times and failed to stop gambling. Although those times I hadn’t been completely honest with how severe my problem actually was. Now that everything is out in the open and I have the support I need both here and on the home front there is nothing to stop me.
I know if I had not spoke to someone on the helpline this morning then I probably would have gambled and that’s why I wanted to make drastic changes and I wanted to do them today.
I don’t want to be in the situation where it would be possible for me to gamble again.
I don’t want to gamble anymore and I won’t.
I still have the urges but I don’t want to let them get the better of me and now they won’t.
This website has done wonders for my mindset.
I now know that recovery is possible. I know I will never be cured and that being a CG is something that I will have to live with but that I can live with it!
The way people rally around each other when they are feeling down or have had a set back is fantastic. And also the way the people on here share their encouragement with others who are doing good things in their recovery is AWESOME!
I really wish I had found this website sooner but then again maybe I wasn’t ready.
Day 5 is nearly over and I did not game nor will I in the near future.
Lots of love xxx
