Good man Cozzy,
I’m delighted to hear that post, you have done really well. No need to thank me, Im just passing on the support and advice that got me up and running.
The GA meetings are excellent. For the first few I was unsure about them as I nearly felt more down coming out of them listening to other people stories. It took time for me to see what I was supposed to be gaining from it all.
As I said im 7 weeks off the gambling. Since then i have had no major urges but i can feel them ever so lightly coming back.
Just be prepared , the first few weeks are grand as you feel so relieved but be under no illusion that you will have hard days. I would recommend a couple of 1-1 counselling sessions and see how you find them, I’ve had 4 sessions in last 7 weeks and find them good and different to what i get out of the GA meetings.
Best motto iv found from the GA programme and think every gambler should live by it is “Just for today”….
Glad to hear things moving well, stay positive every day and keep posting 🙂
