    Hi

    My name is Craig I’m a compulsive gambler last bet 5/03/2018

    Everyone’s rock bottom is different mine was losing my children , house , job , alot of money over many years and then going bankrupt

    I spent many years isolating myself and not living a life while losing all the above and hurting everyone that actually cared about me .Once I finally admitted to myself i needed help I managed to go to rehab and that’s where the start of new foundations were laid to allow me to firstly be taken out of the life I had led and feel safe which then allowed the rehab team to break me down bit by bit and restore my dignity and self belief .Don’t get me wrong this did not happen over night but I knew I was at rock bottom there was nothing left to lose except most likey my life .I am a compulsive gambler and that will always be with me on a day to day basis .I now lead a better life than I did and more importantly I am happy with life nowadays , I’m honest with my family and friends who all know the depths I went to in my gambling days

    Life is not easy but can be much better there is help out there if you feel you want it

    I hope this brings some comfort or encouragement to you to help you move forward

    Well done for coming on here and writing a journal . Im guessing that must have took alot for you to do it . In a sense you have admitted you have a gambling problem which is a massive step forward if you want to seek the help needed . Unfortunately chasing your bets will only ever end up going one way as i can say as a compulsive gambler that even when you win you lose because it keeps you in the cycle of gambling until the eventual loss comes . I was a big sports betting person , mainly football but this advanced to tennis and then anything i could bet on and watch at the same time , womens volleyball at 3 am rings a bell !! . You mention you have the 12k of debt that you want to sort out . Are you in the UK ? .I personally used a debt management company when things had got to the point of no return for me and i know many others have went down this route as well
    Regards letting go of the feelings of you have lost alot of money and cant let you go of that there is help out there to help you work through this , this goes hand in hand of the shame and guilt you will be feeling for what has happened

    Again i’ll say well done for coming on to GT and posting that in itself is a courageous act

    J'ai également terminé le programme de 14 semaines au cours des 2 dernières semaines à Beckenham, donc bien que je ne sache pas exactement qui est votre fils, j'ai une bonne idée si vous dites qu'il est à mi-chemin. Il est entre de très bonnes mains. Mon expérience a été vraiment inspirante et je serai éternellement redevable non seulement au personnel mais à chacun des résidents pour leur soutien au quotidien.

    Matcol reste en sécurité mon ami 🙂

    Befejeztem a 14 hetes programot is az elmúlt 2 hétben Beckenhamben, így bár nem tudom pontosan, ki a fiad, van egy jó ötletem, mondván, hogy félúton van. Nagyon biztonságos kezekben van. A tapasztalataim valóban inspirálóak voltak, és örökké hálával tartozom nem csak a személyzetnek, hanem minden egyes lakosnak a napi támogatásért

    Matcol, vigyázz magadra barátom 🙂

    میں نے بیکنہم میں پچھلے 2 ہفتوں کے اندر 14 ہفتوں کا پروگرام بھی مکمل کر لیا ہے ، حالانکہ میں نہیں جانتا کہ آپ کا بیٹا کون ہے ، مجھے آپ کا یہ کہنا مناسب ہے کہ وہ آدھے راستے پر ہے۔ وہ بہت محفوظ ہاتھوں میں ہے۔ میرا تجربہ واقعی متاثر کن تھا اور میں نہ صرف عملے بلکہ ہر رہائشی کا روزانہ کی بنیاد پر مدد کے لیے ہمیشہ کا مقروض رہوں گا۔

    میٹکول سلامت رہو میرے دوست 🙂

    Olen myös suorittanut 14 viikon ohjelman viimeisten kahden viikon aikana Beckenhamissa, joten vaikka en tiedä tarkkaan, kuka poikasi on, minulla on oikea käsitys sanomalla, että hän on puolivälissä. Hän on erittäin turvallisissa käsissä. Kokemukseni oli todella inspiroiva, ja olen ikuisesti velkaa paitsi henkilökunnalle myös jokaiselle asukkaalle päivittäisestä tuesta

    Matcol pysy turvassa ystäväni 🙂

    I have also completed the 14 week program within the last 2 weeks in Beckenham so although I don’t know exactly who your son is I have a fair idea by you saying he is halfway through. He is in very safe hands. My experience was truly inspirational and I will be forever indebted to not only the staff but each and everyone of the residents for there support on a daily basis

    Matcol stay safe my friend 🙂

    Jeg har også fullført 14 ukers programmet i løpet av de siste 2 ukene i Beckenham, så selv om jeg ikke vet nøyaktig hvem sønnen din er, har jeg en god ide om at du sier at han er halvveis. Han er i veldig trygge hender. Min erfaring var virkelig inspirerende, og jeg vil for alltid være takknemlig for ikke bare personalet, men alle innbyggerne for støtte daglig.

    Matcol vær trygg min venn 🙂

    Am finalizat, de asemenea, programul de 14 săptămâni în ultimele 2 săptămâni în Beckenham, așa că, deși nu știu exact cine este fiul tău, am o idee corectă spunând că este pe jumătate. El este pe mâini foarte sigure. Experiența mea a fost cu adevărat inspirațională și voi fi îndatorat pentru totdeauna nu numai personalului, ci și tuturor rezidenților pentru sprijinul oferit zilnic

    Matcol stai în siguranță prietenul meu 🙂

    Ukończyłem również 14-tygodniowy program w ciągu ostatnich 2 tygodni w Beckenham, więc chociaż nie wiem dokładnie, kim jest twój syn, mam dobry pomysł, gdy mówisz, że jest w połowie. Jest w bardzo bezpiecznych rękach. Moje doświadczenie było naprawdę inspirujące i na zawsze będę wdzięczny nie tylko personelowi, ale wszystkim mieszkańcom za codzienne wsparcie

    Matcol bądź bezpieczny mój przyjacielu 🙂

    Aš taip pat baigiau 14 savaičių programą per pastarąsias 2 savaites Bekenhame, taigi, nors tiksliai nežinau, kas yra jūsų sūnus, turiu teisingą supratimą, sakydamas, kad jis įpusėjo. Jis yra labai saugiose rankose. Mano patirtis buvo tikrai įkvepianti ir būsiu amžinai skolinga ne tik darbuotojams, bet ir visiems gyventojams už kasdienę paramą.

    Matcolas, saugok mano drauge 🙂

    Я також завершила 14 -тижневу програму протягом останніх 2 тижнів у Бекхенмі, тому, хоча я не знаю точно, хто ваш син, я маю чесне уявлення, що ви на півдорозі. Він у дуже надійних руках. Мій досвід був справді надихаючим, і я буду назавжди вдячний не лише персоналу, а й кожному мешканцю за щоденну підтримку.

    Матколь, бережись мій друже 🙂

    لقد أكملت أيضًا برنامج 14 أسبوعًا خلال الأسبوعين الماضيين في Beckenham ، لذا على الرغم من أنني لا أعرف بالضبط من هو ابنك ، لدي فكرة عادلة من خلال قولك إنه في منتصف الطريق. إنه في أيد أمينة للغاية. كانت تجربتي ملهمة حقًا وسأكون مدينًا إلى الأبد ليس فقط للموظفين ولكن لكل فرد من السكان لدعمهم هناك على أساس يومي

    ماتكول ابق آمنا يا صديقي 🙂

    Esmu arī pabeigusi 14 nedēļu programmu pēdējo 2 nedēļu laikā Bekenhemā, tāpēc, lai gan es precīzi nezinu, kas ir jūsu dēls, man ir taisnīga ideja, sakot, ka viņš ir pusceļā. Viņš ir ļoti drošās rokās. Mana pieredze bija patiesi iedvesmojoša, un es mūžīgi būšu parādā ne tikai darbiniekiem, bet arī ikvienam iedzīvotājam par atbalstu ikdienā.

    Matcol, esi drošs, mans draugs 🙂

    Също така завърших 14 -седмичната програма през последните 2 седмици в Бекънъм, така че въпреки че не знам точно кой е вашият син, имам честна представа, че казвате, че е на половината. Той е в много сигурни ръце. Моят опит беше наистина вдъхновяващ и ще бъда завинаги задължен не само на персонала, но и на всеки от жителите за ежедневната подкрепа там

    Маткол пази се приятелю 🙂
