So today I’ve decided that I’m going to try harder than ever to beat this awful addiction which started because of an episode of my schizo-effective disorder and the medication I was taking at the time.
My husbad is trying to be supportive of me everytime I mess up but that can only go on for so long. So I’m turning to this forum and support groups in the hope that I can stop for good.
My addiction has caused me to loose sight of morals stealing money from my husbands accounts and pawning jewellery to fund the addiction even considering taking out loans.
Instead of gambling i’mgoing to try and write on here to see if the feeling passes and hopefully that will be enough.
Wish me good luck as I do in all your efforts to beat this!
