Hi Carole
It was good to see you in the chat… put up those barriers with money again as soon as you can.. do all you can to help yourself this addiction is progressive and it just gets worse and worse, i have lived that for sure..
Glad you told us and came back.
Re the cats, can you give your mums cat to someone else, it is likely they won’t get used to each other. Some cats cant adjust.
Can you give it to a friend, relative, pet shop, anyone?
Can Danny take her? I understand your stress at the moment and things being up in the air. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The thing that helped me the most is making recovery my number one priority. Putting it above other things. You have to want it badly though. I guess for me it took pain and lots of it to really really accept gambling is something i can’t do. Everyone is different, I’ve been here years and years relapsing, the most important thing is to come back and keep getting up and trying which you are.
We are here for you Carole. Reach out for help and you will find a hand. Keep coming to the chats even if you dont feel like talking much. Keep posting, stay connected to people who dont want to gamble and understand what its like.
