Hi
I have had many many issues over a 15 year gambling addiction and following a 2.5 year abstinence i found myself in trouble again and dont realy know how…

The one thing to come out of the situation has been my realisation that i will not be "cured" and will need to have processes in place for the rest of my life (which was difficut to admit after the good couple of years i have had)

i have highlighted two areas to move forward..Emotional support and exploration and financial controls.

In this post i would like to focus on finacial controls and ask if anyone has any hints.

1. At this point i am comfortable with handing over full control of my income to a trusted person and recieve some sort of allowance and will continue this for the rest of my life regardless of time and what seems like control.
2. Will need to focus on times of change and periods i may recieve "unexpected" dollars and changes in the norm ie Work Bonus, change of job, holiday pay etc

If anyone has any advice on the above or anyting else they may feel workd for them i’d greatly appreciate it. Also would like to hear anything around limiting access to loans, credit cards and crisis type situations where i may seek funds?

Thanks

BJIts never to late to be the man you want to be..
