Hi Tara,
I’m so glad you have posted here. It’s tough to do, but you’ve done it and that’s one big step forward for you. I am not a gambler – my husband is – but I see you wanting to talk to someone or do something NOW, so I’m posting this for you. I hope it helps.
I want to encourage you to use the Helpline here. ( Just ignore this if you’re already aware of it.)
You can chat with someone live at the times listed under “Support Groups”. Just make sure your profile settings reflect the correct time zone, and you have selected either Gambler or F&F as your designation so you have access to the right groups.
You can get in to the chats by clicking on Helpline, then “join”. You must get there in the first 15 minutes of the session to join.
I hope you will try this – and soon – it will help tremendously especially while you are in “crisis mode”.
Hang in there and keep reading and posting.
Adele
