Thanks for posting that Jonny. I think I was far too aggressive in my response to you actually, two things I said have really bugged me.
The first one is saying that you’d got off lightly, nobody who’s effected by compulsive gambling has ever gotten off lightly. That applies to our families and loved ones, as well as us the gamblers. None of us asked for this in our lives, I regret saying that and feel quite embarrassed for doing so.
The second thing that I felt bad about was my response to your mentioning the pain killers, I was being extremely cocky and I apologise to you for both of those comments. In fact it is quite hypocritical of me to refer to your weed smoking in the way I did. I used to post on this forum a lot more than I have done of late, and those that know of my journey will know that I struggled to give up weed for a long time.
I’m probably only an expert in one thing Jon and that flucking my life up. Always because I’ve let gambling back in. This time around mate the big difference is not handling my money. No of course that hasn’t fixed or cured me, the same as you, I haven’t gambled because I’ve never wanted to.
It was one mistake I’d never addressed. I will try and elaborate further at some stage later in the day, but for now I’ve got a full two hour break so I’m going to try and catch a bit sleep.
Sorry to hear about your contract.
