Hi Briana
Here you are indeed and here I am listening and ready to support you.
Your thread title gives more away than your post and so my first question has to be why are you questioning your own sanity?
We don’t give ‘advice’ Briana; I cannot tell you what to do because recognising whether your sanity is being threatened by another is something only you know at the moment. I know that the compulsion to gamble causes many/most loved ones to question their sanity but I also know that if the compulsion to gamble was removed there would be no question.
When we question our sanity I think we have often got to the point of not knowing who we are anymore, not recognising what we have become. Such feelings rock our confidence and demolish our self-esteem – hence the words often seen here are words of encouragement to love oneself and put oneself first. When one is flattened by the addiction of another then self-recovery is paramount.
I don’t know if it helps but I wouldn’t be here writing to you if I didn’t know that the addiction to gamble can be controlled.
It would be great if you joined the F&F group tomorrow evening –Thursday between 20.00 -21.00 hours UK time but in the meantime I hope you will flesh out your concerns on the forum and give me a little more to stimulate my little grey cells – for instance who do you know who gambles?
