Were in this together!

Hi Geordie,
Did the foodbank say who needed to refer you to them? You could then contact them.
The current crisis will pass, you will get money again, you will sort out the finances.
What you do then, when you do have money, is far more important for your future than what you do now when things are tight.
Hi Zlawrence and welcome to the Forum, well done on looking for help.
Have you read some of the otehr stiries here? I expect you will see a lot of things that you can relate to.
You sound unsure as to whether you are a gamblign addict. The 20 Questions they have on teh GA website can help you make your mind up on that. here is a link:
http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions
The questions are relevant whether or not you ever decided that GA was for you.
As you will see in the forums, if gambling is a problem then it tends to be progressive in nature, things get gradually worse. So it may be that you have to decide whether you want to take action now…. or wait till things get worse.
I can tell you that you can stop gambling, if you want to “control” your gambling then I can’t tell you how to do that. I guess that if I knew how then I would still be doing it myself!.
It doesn’t matter what your friends do/don’t do. If they are “worse than you” or not, you need to do what is best for YOU.
I’d say that some of the things you have said above indicate at least the beginnning of a problem, check out those questions and let us know how you score.
I am in the groups here for the next 2 1/2 hours or so, maybe pop in for a chat.

Takk for tilbakemelding og kommentarer P. Det var et godt tema. Du har rett, tiden vil svekke en trang så lenge vi ikke mate den eller flaske den opp.
Merci pour les retours et commentaires P. C'était un bon sujet. Vous avez raison, le temps affaiblira une envie tant que nous ne la nourrissons pas ou ne la mettons pas en bouteille.
Gracias por la retroalimentación y comentarios P. Fue un buen tema. Tienes razón, el tiempo debilitará un impulso siempre que no lo alimentemos o lo embotellemos.
Tack för feedback och kommentarer P. Det var ett bra ämne. Du har rätt, tiden kommer att försvaga en längtan så länge vi inte matar den eller flaskar upp den.
Kiitos palautteesta ja kommenteista P. Se oli hyvä aihe. Olet oikeassa, aika heikentää halua niin kauan kuin emme syö sitä tai pullota sitä.
شكرًا على التعليقات والتعليقات P. لقد كان موضوعًا جيدًا. أنت محق ، فالوقت سيضعف الرغبة طالما أننا لا نطعمها أو نعبئها.
Hvala na povratnim informacijama i komentarima P. Bila je to dobra tema. U pravu ste, vrijeme će oslabiti poriv sve dok ga ne hranimo ili punimo.
피드백과 댓글 감사합니다 P. 좋은 주제였습니다. 당신 말이 맞습니다. 우리가 그것을 먹거나 병에 담지 않는 한 시간은 충동을 약화시킬 것입니다.
Cảm ơn vì những phản hồi và nhận xét P. Đó là một chủ đề hay. Bạn nói đúng, thời gian sẽ làm suy yếu sự thôi thúc miễn là chúng ta không cho nó ăn hoặc đóng chai nó.
Tak for feedback og kommentarer P. Det var et godt emne. Du har ret, tiden vil svække en trang, så længe vi ikke fodrer den eller flasker den op.
