Hello everyone.  i have been yearning to find someplace to find support for my gambling problem that has plagued me for over 20 yrs.  I just recently  found myself in a postition to start life anew and realized gambling shouldn’t be involved.  Well here i am. lost lonely and standing with faith that i can overcome this disease as many others have with only my half perched smile and optamistic outlook on life.  Ironic that it would seem i’ve spent my life trying to help others with their problems involving alcohol and drugs, yet it was only to take away from focusing on myself and my issues i have.  Now its time for me to focus on myself and why i have chosen to put myself thru everything i have the past 20 some odd years.  I have recently found many online support groups which give me hope in my recovery.  Reading many of the post, it truly gave me hope and some understanding that the guilt and shame i’ve been carrying for so many years can be overcome and learned from if one truly wants to overcome it.  I can certainly say that i now do not feel alone in this battle.  I suffer from multiple addictions and battled over which meetings i should attend.  If i were to try and attend a meeting for every addiction, i would have to turn it into my new job. This is my first step towards achieving a normal life, and re directing myself towards normalcy. I look forward to hearing from many other and would like nothing more than to get past all the bad choices i’ve made.
