Привет, бабушка. Молодцы, ища помощи. Чтобы создать собственную ветку, сначала зайдите на форум «Мой журнал», если вы игрок, или на форум друзей и семьи, если на вас повлиял кто-то другой, играющий в азартные игры. Затем просто прокрутите вниз до нижней части форума и нажмите «Новая тема». Опять же, хорошо, что я ищу помощи, и я с нетерпением жду возможности прочитать вашу историю.
Hi Grannie. Well done on looking for help.
To start your own thread first go to the My Journal Forum, if you are a gambler, or the Friends and Family Forum if you are effected by someone elses gambling.
Then just scroll down to the bottom of the forum and click on “New topic”
Again, well done on looking for help and I look forward to reading your story.
Hi Linder, you are already getting good advice. What positive actions can you start to take?
If you” flush every paycheck” then what things can you put in place before you next get paid?

Hi I Dit it.
Just a suggestion. Maybe it would help to find another target other than pay day. Personally I always recommend one day at a time when it comes to not gambing.
If you do need a longer target then find one but having it as payday means that you are achieving a target at the very point that you are most able to gamble. This might be problematic.
Just a thought.
Hi Jezi,
Well done on being honest with your husband. There is an old saying – actions speak louder than words. By the time we come here our words and promises often don’t mean much to those around us, they have heard them before. The actions that will help you stop gambling are the same actions that can help rebuild trust etc
Well done on telling him about that local GA, tell him about the Friends and Family Forum we have here as well maybe.

Hi Nick,
Well done on getting rid of the alcohol, it can weaken anyones resolve. I also now that when i had to stop drinking for health reasons my gambling increased – it is very easy to switch addictions.
Well done on resisting the urge to gamble on the way home from work. The thing I would suggest there is not to carry excess money to work, just have enough to cover lunch. It won’t matter how many bookies you pass on the way home them. keep posting
