Hi I just wanted to write you as today was my first post to. I’ve been in other addiction support groups for the last 10 years and no how valuable it is to start somewhere talking with other like minded individuals. I to feel everything you do as I just recently started this journey to heal from gambling. I hope you can find some comfort knowing your not alone ive to done exactly the same things as you. The hardest part is being someone who had alot of money and now nothing to show. I’ve always had money from hard work and some help along the way and to just blow it away is devastating. One thing I was recently told though is we don’t choose to be this way addiction happens I’ve been addicted to everything under the sun and I’ve manged to dig myself out of everyone of those things now I have this one to as well. I no its possible to see a light at the end of the tunnel but right now we just need a bigger flashlight. The triggers are the hardest as I’m feeling them to hugely but as I’ve learned being sober for 10 years from substances is you gotta talk about what’s going on. That’s where I fd up with the gambling I stopped talking and hid everything I was going through and now here I am. So if you can learn from me talk and never stop talking about what eating up inside.
