Hello Just26,
I have arrived home from a GA Meeting this minute and when I read your post, it took me back to March 2015, when I deposited money with an online casino and to my horror, my retirement fund was wiped out before my eyes.
Gone.
Never to return.
I know exactly how you feel. I stayed in bed for a week shaking in shock and disbelief too.
I couldn’t see beyond the loss.
Then, a member of this site, sent me a message. It said
“Make a plan”
The Plan was to save a sum of money every week/month in an account that I could not touch…of course it also meant my gambling days had to come to an end. I already had a six figure debt after many years of gambling which caused me to retire on disability due to illness caused by stress and now my “lump sum” was gone!
Fast forward to June 2017.
I slowly watched the Plan develop. Month by month it grew. On the 12th of June I will be recording here that I now have a 5 figure sum restored. Still not the full amount that I threw away but enough to provide the security I need.
I’m telling you this to help you to recover from your shock.
When the terrible pain subsides (it will take time) get that PLAN set up.
By Christmas you could have half your money back but ONLY if you stop gambling now.
Keep posting.
You will get lots of support here if you do.
