Hi brenda01 I actually live on an island where the only way off is by boat or plane so I understand your statement to some degree. If your feeling alone while trying to recover its important to try and find some supports. Because I was in recovery from other addictions I already had met people through 12 step programs and built a support network that way. The gambling support is harder if there isn’t GA meetings but there is so many forms of addiction support out there. There also is the option off trying the online meetings. Are you seeing a counselor at all? You mentioned you had a son in recovery maybe he nos of some groups or people that can be support for you as well? All else were all here on this forum to. It takes a bit to get used to writing but it really does help. Just getting those thoughts out whatever they may be negative, postive, or whatever will help your head feel clear and you’ll also no there’s people reading it and cheering you on.
