Just a quick one to start of for me… 23 years old I was at the Gordon moody rehab house in London when I was 20 did the 14 week programme thought everything was great came home and was gamble free for 14 months then one thing lead to another and found myself stuck in the root again. Part of me thinks it didn’t help going back to the same lifestyle again but I can’t be 100% sure. Anyway luckily I’ve been accepted back on the programme this year I think roughly March time hard thing is my first child is due end of February so I’m going to miss the first part of her life. I keep telling myself what’s 14 weeks in exchange for 50 years of gamble free life. I have a fiance that loves me and just wants me to break free from the gambling and see me enjoy life. I’m annoyed that’s it’s lead to me having to do it a second time but things happen and if someone said before your gamble free you will go to rehab 4 times I’d do it.
Anyway that’s a little about me.
