Hi Simon
Well done on looking for help. Get back to your meetings, this time keep going. Does your partner know about your gambling? Can they help look afer your money for a while.
Please don’t reply here – you will get more support in the My Journal Forum. This topic Group Forum is for discussing he pre set Topics we have in some of the groups here. The My Journal Forum is busier and you will get more feedback there.
Hopefully I will see you in one of the groups here as well – check out the schedule.
Hi Izzy,
I’d give pretty much the same advice you have had before.
The thing I might add is look at your posts,many of them start “It has been a while since I posted last…….” It’ll help you if you change that, stay close to support and keep posting so you don’t need that line.
Bok Izzy, dao bih otprilike isti savjet koji ste imali i prije. Ono što bih mogao dodati je pogledati vaše postove, mnogi od njih započinju "Prošlo je dosta vremena od kad sam zadnji put objavio … …" Pomoći će vam ako to promijenite, ostanite blizu podrške i nastavite objavljivati kako vam ne bi trebao taj redak.
Hei Izzy, jeg vil gi omtrent det samme rådet som du har hatt før. Det jeg kan legge til er å se på innleggene dine, mange av dem starter "Det er en stund siden jeg la ut sist …. …" Det vil hjelpe deg hvis du endrer det, hold deg nær supporten og fortsett å legge ut slik at du ikke trenger den linjen.
Olá, Izzy, daria praticamente o mesmo conselho que você deu antes. O que devo acrescentar é olhar para suas postagens, muitas delas começam com "Já faz um tempo desde a última vez que postei ……." Vai te ajudar se você mudar isso, fique perto do suporte e continue postando para que você não precise dessa linha.
Szia Izzy, nagyjából ugyanazt a tanácsot adnám, mint korábban. Hozzátenném, hogy nézd meg a hozzászólásaidat, sokan közülük így kezdődnek: "Már régen írtam utoljára … …". Segíteni fog, ha ezt megváltoztatja, maradjon a támogatás közelében, és továbbra is tegyen közzé, így nincs szüksége erre a sorra.
Hej Izzy, jag skulle ge ungefär samma råd som du har haft tidigare. Det jag kan lägga till är att titta på dina inlägg, många av dem startar "Det var ett tag sedan jag la ut senast … …." Det hjälper dig om du ändrar det, håll dig nära supporten och fortsätt att publicera så att du inte behöver den raden.
Привет, Иззи, я бы дал примерно тот же совет, что и ты. Я мог бы добавить, что посмотрите ваши сообщения, многие из них начинаются со слов: «Прошло много времени с тех пор, как я публиковал последний ……». Это поможет вам, если вы измените это, оставайтесь рядом со службой поддержки и продолжайте публиковать сообщения, чтобы вам не понадобилась эта строка.
Здравей, Изи, бих дал почти същите съвети, които си имал преди. Нещото, което бих могъл да добавя, е да погледнете вашите публикации, много от тях започват „Измина доста време, откакто публикувах последно … …“. Ще ви помогне, ако промените това, останете близо до поддръжката и продължете да публикувате, за да не се нуждаете от този ред.
Hello and thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy forums

Well done IDI, love the comparison between this year and last year. Keep doing the things that are working for you. Not gambling, one day at a time, allows us to plan a great future.
A great achievement JoeBev, one day at a time is small and achievable yet can also be life changing. Keep doing the things that are working for you – one day at a time.
Hi Thomas. Where to start? I guess that depends on what you are looking for. If you are asking for recommendations as to where to play bingo then you won’t find them here. If you have decided that gambling is a problem for you then read the other stories here. Get yourself banned from the sites you normally use. Connect to support groups. I recommend checking out the 20 questions they have on the Gamblers Anonymous website.
Hi Sophie, well done on looking for support. When it comes to your partner I would say that it is good that he recognises and admits that he has a problem. Now ask him what he is prepared to do about it. He has a lot of support available here, in the My Journal Forum and gamblers Groups, also at places like Gamblers Anonymous, counselling etc. There are also steps he can take – such as getting excluded from where ever it is he gambles, being accountable financially etc.
The important person here is you though – you can get a lot of support here. He can stop gambling, if he uses support, but whatever he does you can focus on YOU. Then you will be stronger moving forward, be better placed to make any tough decisions needed.
Hello
Thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy friends and family forum. This forum will provide you with warmth and understanding from your peers.
Feel free to use the friends and family group, you’ll find the times for these if you click on the “Group times” box on our Home page
Read about the friends and Family Online Groups
Now that you have introduced yourself you’ll find that many of the people you meet here have already read your initial introduction and they’ll welcome you in like an old friend 🙂
If you’re the friend or family member of someone who is either in, or has been through, the GMA residential programme please take extra care to make sure that nothing you say in groups, or on our forums, inadvertently identifies that person. Even if your loved one isn’t connected with GMA, please don’t identify them either directly or indirectly just in case they decide to use the site themselves.
You’ll find a lot of advice on this site, some of which you’ll follow, some you won’t…but that’s ok because only you fully understand your situation and what’s best for you and the people you love. So, take the support you need and leave the advice you don’t because it all comes from a caring, nurturing place 🙂
We look forward to hearing all about you!
Take care
The Gambling Therapy Team
