    Lizbeth, amica mia, è bello vederti combattere ed essere onesti è l'unico modo, sì scivoliamo / scommettiamo…….. e sappiamo che è sbagliato, sappiamo che provoca dolore e sofferenza, lottiamo duramente contro di esso ma a volte falliamo, dovresti essere orgogliosa Lizbeth perché lavori per il recupero ogni giorno ed è quello che serve, pensavo di essere in un buon posto ma sono finito in un giorno uno…….lavorare al recupero ogni giorno è il unico modo…..perchè so che per me in un giorno posso fare anni di danni ! n nAbbi cura di te e il mio meglio per te

    Lizbeth, minha amiga, é bom ver você lutando e sendo honesta, é a única maneira, sim, nós escorregamos / apostamos … e sabemos que é errado, sabemos que causa dor e sofrimento, lutamos muito contra isso mas às vezes falhamos, você deve se orgulhar Lizbeth porque você trabalha na recuperação todos os dias e isso é o que é necessário, eu pensei que estava em um bom lugar, mas acabei em um dia ……. trabalhar na recuperação todos os dias é o única maneira ….. porque eu sei por mim em um dia eu posso causar anos de danos! n nTome cuidado e meu melhor para você

    Lizbeth, můj příteli, je hezké vidět tě bojovat a být upřímný, to je jediná cesta, ano, my sklouzáváme / hazardujeme …….. a víme, že je to špatně, víme, že to způsobuje bolest a utrpení, tvrdě proti tomu bojujeme ale občas se nám to nepovede, měla bys být hrdá, Lizbeth, protože každý den pracuješ na uzdravení a to je to, co jsem potřebovala, myslela jsem si, že jsem na dobrém místě, ale skončila jsem v jeden den ……. jediný způsob ….. protože vím, že za jeden den mohu napáchat roky škod! n n Dávejte na sebe pozor a budu se vám moc snažit

    Lizbeth min venn det er hyggelig å se deg kjempe videre og ærlig det er den eneste måten, ja vi sklir / gambler …….. og vi vet at det er galt, vi vet at det forårsaker smerte og lidelse, vi kjemper hardt mot det men til tider mislykkes vi, du bør være stolt Lizbeth fordi du jobber med gjenoppretting hver dag, og det er det som trengs, jeg trodde jeg var et bra sted, men endte opp på en veldig fin dag. eneste måte ….. fordi jeg vet for meg på en dag at jeg kan gjøre års skade! n n Ta vare på deg og mitt aller beste til deg

    Steev, Kin, Charles and Lizbeth your replies are really appreciated thank you very much.

    I gambled and messed up……..again…..it’s not the first time and really hope it’s the last……as always that’s down to me and only I can control that outcome but I can use all the tools I can to help me in my quest for a better life !

    I have worked out my recent triggers…….drinking silly amounts of alcohol didn’t help my cause as I seemed to loose all my senses and hit the self destruct button, it had been building up inside on me for a few weeks, I had alot of family stresses (lost another person close to me) work stresses (will always be the way as just the nature of my job), health issues (we all have them) but the problem was I didn’t talk to anyone about them, I didn’t share with anyone and therefore kept them to myself and in the end just overloaded and let loose in a silly gambling rampage and in turn did some major financial damage. I had been doing well, going to meetings, managing money, was in a very good place to be honest and had just started to enjoy life again……………you all know it I know it……….gambling destroys life’s there is no happiness with it………gambling and unhappiness go hand in hand I know this I am not a silly man I promise you all that……just a recovering compulsive gambler, I have always said it that if I didn’t want to stop I wouldn’t be here I wouldn’t go to meetings, I wouldn’t put barriers in place but I do want to stop and have done for years.

    I mentioned along time ago years ago now something just clicked for me wanting to gamble to wanting to stop, sInce that day I have been in recovery because that’s where I want to be…….yes sure I have slipped / gambled many times over those years but have always got back into recovery, this time I think I also got a little complacent…….let my guard down……stopped posting……cut down / stopped meetings………everything just started to fall back into old ways…….almost no barriers……..not trying to test myself but I suppose in some way I was, anyway thanks again for posting and reading will always wish you all well, keep fighting it’s the only way.

    Take care

    MSKBR thanks for sharing and hope this finds you well, I have gambled to chase losses and also just to continue to play, I am a compulsive gambler if I had £10 I would gamble until I lost the lot (however long that took 1 hour 1 day 1 month 1 year) if I had 1 million pounds I would gamble until I lost the lot (1 hour 1 day 1 month 1 year) we continue to PLAY just to PLAY until the money runs out……I believe its the same, I have gambled many times when I didnt need the money and in truth if I didnt need the money when I started that session they thats just to PLAY or continue PLAYING, once I start I cannot stop simple as that it is chasing but its not because I am just PLAYING……….confusing yes and no….hope it answers your question……..just for today i will not gamble to play or to chase !

    Take care
