It’s so hard to step outside one’s comfort zone!! But yes, telling my close friends and parents would be at the same time a load taken off my chest and bringing some truth into my life. I’ll think what’s the best way to mention the topic (maybe not telling them all details or how big the financial hole is).
Right now I’m living in a small town without GA, but in September I’ll move to the capital for this new job and then I’ll give it a try. It would be awesome if I could stay away from gambling these two months. I could be enjoying summer, going out, chilling, but the few friends I have work, have their lives, and it’s been a bit hard to just wait alone… I guess loneliness in my case is both a cause and an effect of my addiction. I do hope this new job will bring some new friendships, and even living in the capital I want to do volunteering, language courses, have things in my life other than gambling. I know I should keep the expectations low, but hoping for a better future is good for the recovery, I think.
