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

Last bet 05/03/2018Well 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 happenedAgain i’ll say well done for coming on to GT and posting that in itself is a courageous act
Ben de son 2 hafta içinde Beckenham'da 14 haftalık programı tamamladım, bu yüzden oğlunuzun kim olduğunu tam olarak bilmesem de, yarı yolda olduğunu söylemeniz doğru bir fikrim var. O çok emin ellerde. Deneyimim gerçekten ilham vericiydi ve sadece personele değil, orada yaşayanların her birine günlük olarak destek için sonsuza dek borçlu olacağım.
Mattol güvende kal dostum 🙂
Također sam završio program od 14 tjedana u zadnja 2 tjedna u Beckenhamu pa iako ne znam točno tko je vaš sin, imam dobru ideju da ste rekli da je na pola puta. U vrlo je sigurnim rukama. Moje iskustvo je doista nadahnuće i bit ću zauvijek dužan ne samo osoblju nego i svakom stanovniku za svakodnevnu podršku
Matcol, čuvaj se prijatelju 🙂
Ich habe auch das 14-Wochen-Programm in den letzten 2 Wochen in Beckenham absolviert. Obwohl ich nicht genau weiß, wer Ihr Sohn ist, habe ich eine gute Vorstellung davon, dass Sie sagen, dass er auf halbem Weg ist. Er ist in sehr sicheren Händen. Meine Erfahrung war wirklich inspirierend und ich werde nicht nur dem Personal, sondern jedem einzelnen Bewohner für immer für die tägliche Unterstützung danken
Matcol bleib gesund mein Freund 🙂
Ολοκλήρωσα επίσης το πρόγραμμα 14 εβδομάδων μέσα στις τελευταίες 2 εβδομάδες στο Μπέκενχαμ, οπότε αν και δεν ξέρω ακριβώς ποιος είναι ο γιος σας, έχω μια δίκαιη ιδέα λέγοντάς σας ότι έχει φτάσει στα μισά του δρόμου. Είναι σε πολύ ασφαλή χέρια. Η εμπειρία μου ήταν πραγματικά εμπνευσμένη και θα είμαι πάντα υπόχρεος όχι μόνο στο προσωπικό αλλά και σε όλους τους κατοίκους για την υποστήριξη εκεί σε καθημερινή βάση
Matcol μείνε ασφαλής φίλε μου 🙂
Я также завершил 14-недельную программу в течение последних 2 недель в Бекенхэме, поэтому, хотя я не знаю точно, кто ваш сын, у меня есть хорошее представление о том, что вы сказали, что он на полпути. Он в надежных руках. Мой опыт был действительно вдохновляющим, и я буду навсегда признателен не только персоналу, но и всем жителям за их ежедневную поддержку.
Маткол оставайся в безопасности, мой друг 🙂
Eu também concluí o programa de 14 semanas nas últimas 2 semanas em Beckenham, então, embora eu não saiba exatamente quem é seu filho, tenho uma boa ideia quando você disse que ele está na metade. Ele está em boas mãos. Minha experiência foi verdadeiramente inspiradora e serei eternamente grato não apenas à equipe, mas a todos e cada um dos residentes pelo apoio diário.
Matcol fique seguro, meu amigo 🙂
Jag har också slutfört 14 -veckorsprogrammet under de senaste 2 veckorna i Beckenham så även om jag inte vet exakt vem din son är har jag en rättvis idé om att du säger att han är halvvägs. Han är i mycket säkra händer. Min erfarenhet var verkligen inspirerande och jag kommer att vara evigt tacksam för inte bara personalen utan var och en av de boende för det dagliga stödet
Matcol var säker min vän 🙂

ベックナムでの過去2週間以内に14週間のプログラムも完了したので、あなたの息子が誰であるかは正確にはわかりませんが、彼は途中だと言って公正な考えを持っています。彼は非常に安全な手にあります。私の経験は本当に刺激的で、スタッフだけでなく、そこに住むすべての人に日々のサポートに永遠に感謝しています。
Matcolは私の友人を安全に保ちます:)
나는 또한 Beckenham에서 지난 2주 동안 14주 프로그램을 마쳤습니다. 그래서 당신의 아들이 누구인지 정확히 모르지만 그가 절반쯤은 끝났다고 당신이 말하는 공정한 생각이 있습니다. 그는 매우 안전한 손에 있습니다. 내 경험은 정말 영감을 주었고 매일 매일 지원하는 직원뿐만 아니라 모든 주민들에게 영원히 빚을 지고 있습니다.
Matcol 안전하게 지내세요 친구:)
Jeg har også gennemført 14 ugers program inden for de sidste 2 uger i Beckenham, så selvom jeg ikke helt ved, hvem din søn er, har jeg en god idé ved, at du siger, at han er halvvejs. Han er i meget sikre hænder. Min oplevelse var virkelig inspirerende, og jeg vil altid være taknemmelig for ikke kun personalet, men alle beboerne for støtte der dagligt
Matcol vær sikker min ven 🙂
Ik heb ook het 14 weken durende programma in Beckenham in de afgelopen 2 weken voltooid, dus hoewel ik niet precies weet wie uw zoon is, heb ik een redelijk idee dat u zegt dat hij halverwege is. Hij is in zeer veilige handen. Mijn ervaring was echt inspirerend en ik zal voor altijd dank verschuldigd zijn aan niet alleen het personeel, maar ook aan alle bewoners voor hun dagelijkse steun
Matcol blijf veilig mijn vriend 🙂
Tôi cũng đã hoàn thành chương trình 14 tuần trong vòng 2 tuần qua ở Beckenham nên mặc dù tôi không biết chính xác con trai của bạn là ai, tôi có một ý kiến hợp lý khi bạn nói rằng nó đã đi được nửa chặng đường. Anh ấy đang ở trong tay rất an toàn. Trải nghiệm của tôi thực sự đầy cảm hứng và tôi sẽ mãi mãi mang ơn không chỉ các nhân viên mà mỗi người và tất cả những người ở đó đã hỗ trợ hàng ngày
Matcol giữ an toàn bạn của tôi 🙂
