A massive weight off my shoulders, it took me six weeks to string up the courage to admit that what I have done, going back to gambling and the destruction I have left the is horrible, the guilt has been overpowering, all I can see is one big nightmare looking back, the gambling took its hold more violently than ever, no enjoyment, heavier stakes, crazy betting, sleepless nights, it took control and I lost my job, now only yesterday my flat, I am now unemployed, sleeping on someone’s sofa, and feel hopeless, and lonely, the only thing that is keeping me going is my little sister who is always asking how I am, very hard to look forward at the moment, I hope I get a place on. The Gordon moody programme, I feel it’s what I need, and I would value another chance, I last went in 2012.
Today I have not gambled but I’ve been restless and irritated the all day, it ‘s tough not to get the urge too be honest!!!!

keep your head up and stay positive go out for a walk and enjoy being outside or at least having not to think about betting

Hi Wisefox, it’s horrible when we suddenly realise the damage we have done . However there are many positives in your post .1 someone thinks enough of you to let u sleep on their sofa
2. Your sister obviously adores you
3. You are not on the street tonight.
4 you have not gambled today

Wisefox I guess if you have been at Gordon Moody you know many of the things you can do to keep you safe. Not so long ago I thought I could never stop and yet I have .

I am not surprised u feel irritable but just ride it out . You can do this Wisefox . It’s not easy – it’s cold turkey – but u can do it !

Hi Fox,

Good luck with your application. In the meantime though you can still apply the tools you were given last time you went to GMA, you can still use the other support that is out there.

Last time we spoke you said that you hadn’t received any response to emails? If you look at the GMA website then there is also a contact phone number.

See you in a group again soon.
