I’m back and I’m okay!

Hi again one and all. It’s been 4 months and still I remain clean from this evil curse of gambling! You are all never far from my thoughts as I greet each day with the hope of not gambling. I remember you all with such fondness as you and this forum kept me alive…..

I am touched by the contacts I have received enquiring if I’m okay, and yes I am for today. Life still remains full of challenges but I understand myself so much better now. I’m off to my final appointment tomorrow with Christians against poverty who have formulated a pay back,plan of my debts and with hope I will keep,my home away from the creditors.

Each day I feel a little stronger and try and deal with issues, especially in my relationship with my partner, as they arise. Remaining silent contributed to my down ward spiral to bottomness….

Gambling was an escape from my reality which I now try and tackle, head on! As I look around me I know I have many things to be grateful and thankful for in my life. Getting out of my head and into nature has helped me in my journey of wellness.

If you are reading this and have just began your recovery journey, know that it is possible to,regain your life. Hold onto hope.

Aroha to you all.

Tina

So very good to hear from you Tina as I was wondering how you were doing! Hopefully we hear more from you even if it’s updates that show others it can be done! We can get ourselves into such a hopeless place and situation. A lot of us are suicidal when we arrive and to know that things can be turned around means a lot. I too think nature is a big part of recovery. Looking out instead of in all the time. I too have learned that keeping silent in my relationship only hurts me.

Keep in touch and good to hear from you!
Laura
