I’ve posted this many times so now I’m posting it to you, there’s a word, HALT- hungry, angry,lonely,tired. When I first started here someone (I think it was Laura) posted it to me and it’s stuck, whenever I had a bad urge in the early days I would think of those words, and usually it was one of them that was causing the urge. I know what you mean about your son, they just seem to drift off and start doing their own things…..you can be lonely in a room full of people! Time to start looking around for something for you!!! Like Lizbeth said, we need to love ourselves a little more. Gambling is one of the most isolating addictions I think, we get used to being ‘alone’ with our machine.
I hope you are feeling better, imagine how crappy you would feel if you gambled, that’s one of the lowest feelings I know!
Love K xxx
