Thanks John for the post on my thread , we must help ourselves and take ” DIRECT ACTION ” Like you say 🙂 . M

Today i’m good, seen the counceller yesterday for a free consultation and must admit i was very impressed, he’s a counceller / hypnotherapist amongst many other things so i’m going ahead with it i am making a first appointment which lasts 2 hours first ( questions and answers) . It feels good to be able to take control back of my life and do something about it. 🙂

Hi Butchugly welcome to G.T. there are no quick fixes or rememdies to stop it but plenty of fellow C.G.’S on here who will give you advice and will read your journal and help out with any advice you need and hopefully you will find what works for you in helping you stop this horrific addiction .

So glad i self excluded and i have booked an appointment with a counceller. I do have issues with my past and present and i think iv’e been using the alcohol abuse and gambling as an escape from them . When i’m sober and not gambling my life is a happy one i like getting up in the morning 🙂 so i’m hoping the councelling will be the way forward 🙂

Hi john thanks for your post on my thread it’s always good to hear from you , like me it’s only a short while since my last collapse as you put it, but like my brother said to me at least your trying to change your life around 🙂 so many others just give up 🙁 i’m glad your still around and posting too, we are all here for each other 🙂

I have just read your post on my thread i’m glad mine helped you. I think all addictions are caused by something underlying and the sooner we all find that underlying reason we can get help and move on . Stick with what your doing you will get there and always reach out for help when you need it like my brother said to me no-one is going to shout at you just ask or tell someone how you are feeling . 🙂

If you have thought i will never beat this” THINK AGAIN ” i have had knock backs, set backs what ever you want to call them and i’m trying again , too many people give up on life and let their problems take their lives over so it’s back on my feet and “BRING IT ON ” 🙂

I have said this before but it is oh so true , my self exclusion and appointment with a counceller had to be done by me , no -one else i had to pick up the phone and talk things through with my brother , i had to make contact with my eldest son and ask what i could i do or say to put things right between him and me. You don’t get anywhere by doing nothing . Those four things i done on the same day , four positives 🙂 Just want to say if somethings bothering you pick up the phone and talk if you have to say sorry like i did say it , you may not like the answer but you will have tried.

Hi folks i had a really bad day today but i have told the bookmakers i am self excluding from them also i have booked a councelling consultation for saturday to see if it would suit me.

[micky]

I will try it Sad anything to try and beat this shit . We as gamblers live in a world of shit you know it i know it and the bookies know it . The first win is the best and no matter how many times we try it will never get better. Like chasing the dragon we will never ever catch it again .

[micky]

Behind every cloud is a silver lining Sad or so the saying go’s . I am feeling alot more positive and am on the right track again.

[micky]

Kpat, thanks for your kind post i needed some words of empathy i am dealing with it but it isn’t easy maybe one day we will meet .

[micky]

Me too John those damn bloody urges are out to ruin everything so i thought i’d come and post too , good day, ironing, washing dishes , exercising-workout then those bloody cravings which if i acted on them would ruin my day, week, month, LIFE. So i made a coffee and decided to let it out on here 🙂

[micky]

Thanks Sad i appreciate your kind words it’s something i have to deal with . Hope your doing okay and the end of the month is getting closer 🙂
