Hi Steve and welcome,
I’m sure you will already be finding a lot of stories similar to your own on the other threads here. You will also be reading the success stories – what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation? What barriers can you put in place? A gambling blocker on your PC would be a good start, how about doing that? keep posting and let us know what positive steps you are taking.
Now, i see a lot of other new members have made their first posts here as well:
cantgetright ,tarala, Iamwillingtochange, bogdan12, gamblingsucks , hopeforbetter , committedtoquit, alwaysthefish, revolutioninlife and anyone else I’ve missed!
Welcome to the site as well of course. If you all post your stories here on the same thread though then it’s going to get very confusing and hard to follow. Confusing and hard to follow will mean that things will get lost, people will find it too hard to follow which might put them off posting and support and advice will get lost. That’s not good for either Steve or yourselves.
Please fell free to contiinue to contribute to Steve’s thread but i would strongly suggest you post your own stories seperately. Click on the My Journal forum, scroll donw and then click on new Topic. You could just copy and paste what you have written here then both yourselves and Steve will get the support and feedback that this forum has to offer.
I look forward to reading all of your stroeis and seeing your progress in recovery.
