Hi Ed
Pleased to see you’ve been accepted to GMA, any news on a date yet?
I’ve been through the programme and it certainly can help you turn your life completely around.
Your situation sounds bleak and I imagine that you feel pathetically stupid and embarrassed at your own situation. Your situation will improve dramatically if you embrace all you learn at GMA, it will give you the opportunity to be 100% honest about everything you wont need to minimise things in the way that we quite often do. You can leave there a new man.
I have gambled a lot since I left 7 years ago, not a stunning accolade and probably not what you want to hear, however I didn’t need to gamble and I know several people who completed the programme and have never gambled since. I know of many more.
You’re right to say it isn’t a magic cure, nothing is, not even GA or counselling. But all of these things individually or collectively will give you the tools and necessary gumption to say no to gambling.
You can live a great life not just without gambling, but without even wanting to gamble.
I hope you get a date soon, please let us know.
Take care.
Geordie.
