Hola Izzy, Ninguna palabra que puedas decir marcará la diferencia. Lo que le impedirá apostar, lo que le mostrará a su familia que lo dice en serio, lo que podría recuperar la confianza, etc. con su familia, son sus acciones. No solo las barreras, si lo único que nos impide apostar son las barreras, tarde o temprano se deslizarán o nos encontraremos a su alrededor, estoy hablando de acciones como llegar a GA, otros ya han sugerido las reuniones de zoom, publicando aquí, regularmente no solo cuando se quiere parar, se sigue utilizando el apoyo para mantener la recuperación. Sigue publicando y cuéntanos sobre esas acciones.
Hallo Rdy4, ik heb de vraag die je stelde in het Topic Group Forum naar dit Forum verplaatst. Zet ook mijn gedachten erover in. Ik hoop dat dit helpt.
Здравейте Rdy4, преместих въпроса, който зададохте във форума на тематичната група, към този форум. Включете и мислите си по въпроса. Надявам се това да помогне.
Привет, Rdy4, я переместил вопрос, который вы задали на форуме тематической группы, на этот форум. Также вложил в мои мысли по этому поводу. Надеюсь это поможет.
Hi Rdy4, I have moved the question you asked in the Topic Group Forum to this Forum. Also put in my thoughts on the matter. Hope this helps.
Hi Rdy4,
n
nMy family at the time already knew about my gambling – from seeing the various messes I had gotten into, I never saw my mum as happy as when I first told her I was going to Gamblers Anonymous.
n
nThere is no easy way to tell someone, and no guarantees as to their reaction, but what does make it better is to not just present the problem. Instead tell them what you are going to DO about it. My family had heard all my words and promises previously so there was no reason fort them to believe me. it was my ACTIONS in going to GA, making myself accountable so that I couldn’t gamble secretly that gave them cause to think “Hmm, maybe he means it this time.”
n
nLater, in recovery, I told my then girlfriend, now wife, pretty much everything. She didn’t know me when i was gambling but it was important to tell her. If nothing else the relationship wouldn’t have lasted long if I disappeared secretly each week on my meeting night. Before we married i also told my Mother In Law – told her that if her daughter ever told her I had stopped going to GA she was to drive up and boot my ar$e!Well done on your gamble free time Been.

n”I’m not interested, I don’t gamble any more” works as a good stock answer as well. 🙂Hi Cynthia,
nIf you miss your meetigns then check this link out.

nIt is for GA zoom meetings around the world. You might even find your local one on there 🙂 Alternatively you can connect to one pretty much 24/7 with the different time zones.
n
nWe also have live groups here. Click on “Support Groups” and check out the full schedule.

nHope this helps.Hi Gilly,
n
nBankruptcy won’t solve your problems unless you address your gambling addiction. Maybe get to a Gamblers Anonymous meeting. That way you can address your gambling and meet others who have also had financial problems – they could point you in the direction of otehr local support.

nKeep posting.Planificați cele 2 1/2 zile Lizbeth, puteți face acest lucru. Într-o zi la o oră. Poate vezi cât de bine poți face un desen al acelor elani pentru a-i arăta fiica ta când se întoarce 🙂
Plan those 2 1/2 days Lizbeth, you can do this. One day at a tme. Maybe see how good a drawing of those elk you can do to show your grand daughter when she gets back 🙂
Hi want2letgo,
n
nWell done on looking for help.
n
nYou stopped before so you know you can stop again. The counselling before helped you stop, if necessary repeat that now. Counselling by it’s nature though does tend to be finite, it runs its course. That’s where using ongoing support is important – to maintain recovery. The groups and forums here can help with that, as could Gambles Anonymous or other organisations.
n
nTelling your husband could actually help you stop – he could help with some of the barreirs – financial accountability, installing a blocker etc. Not telling him could also actually be a trigger to gambel – as you try and keep losses secret.
n
n
nKeep posting, we are never “cured” so this time use that ongoing support.
nПривет want2letgo, n n Хорошо, что искал помощи. n nВы остановились раньше, чтобы знать, что можете остановиться снова. Консультация, проведенная ранее, помогла вам остановиться, при необходимости повторите ее сейчас. Консультирование по своей природе имеет тенденцию быть ограниченным, оно работает своим чередом. Вот где важно использовать постоянную поддержку – для поддержания восстановления. Здесь могут помочь группы и форумы, а также Gambles Anonymous или другие организации. n nСказать мужу, на самом деле, может помочь вам остановиться – он может помочь с некоторыми препятствиями – финансовой отчетностью, установкой блокиратора и т. д. Если вы не скажете ему, это также может стать спусковым крючком для игры – поскольку вы пытаетесь сохранить в тайне убытки. Продолжайте публиковать сообщения, мы никогда не «вылечимся», поэтому на этот раз воспользуйтесь постоянной поддержкой. п
Hi, throwingitaway,
n
nWell done on closing your accounts. You can also get a blocker which will stop you signing up to others. If you look at the Gambling Therapy App there are links to things like that there.
n
nMy advice would be to avoid all forms of gambling. It isn’t an online addiction, it is a gambling addiction. Cut out the online form and the in person gambling that you currently don’t have an issue with could soon become a problem – the addiction doesn’t care how it gets its fix.
