    that’s where the problem lies.

    our life choices, although there is temptation we must not give in. we chose to gamble and do wrong, so we must face our consequences.

    try to be positive, the reality is to live, have a car, have a haircut, go shopping and keep fit doesn’t cost that much. when your chasing you need to stop.

    get help before its too late, then continue to talk and continue to get help. i don’t think you ever become cured, it becomes a routine coming gamble free. do what works for you.

    society, tv, music it all makes you want things which causes jealousy. we are driven by money to replace money that’s why we continue to gamble. we might as well go to the atm on payday withdraw it all and throw it out the window.

    if we use a loan or credit card to gamble we should be punished criminally, it should be illegal. family or friends baililng us out will never make you learn.

    unless you seek help that’s the only way to be gamble free.

    Time and lose money, unless you accept that’s it you then borrow, beg and steal for money. once you’ve lost that you either get help or you continue which eventually you’ll be alone, with a criminal record or dead. or all 3, that’s reality.

    If you ask previous employers, friends, family, previous staff i’ve employed or agencies i’ve used who don’t know my circumstances most will say i’m honest, reliable and intelligent.

    Unfortunetly i used all of those skills in the wrong way. One thing I would say is, once you’ve committed fraud or lied and go unpunished you think you can do it again.

    I don’t blame anyone else, its all my own doing but if I was punished the first time i stole i don’t think i’d be in this position now.

    Everytime i messed up i lied about how much money i owed, i gave all access to my father but still owed money elsewhere so i continued to gamble to try to recoup my debt.

    People often talk about how much money they’ve lost, i’ve done that when i tried to stop 1,2,3,4 times etc but the reality is I sit here with 1p in my pocked money isn’t everything. Importance of having family/friends, being truthful and being able to live without feat or guilt is more important.

    When your gambling you still have access to money, i have no access to money unless i commit further crime, i won’t do that though. I’ve made good money in my life through hard work, it will come again i know it will but only if i stop gambling. I need to become a human being and be able to rehabilitate in society and live without fear and guilt. Gambling is probably 30% of the problem, other 70% is my behaviour/ impulsiveness, working too hard, my pride, trying to please others, trying to be everyones friend and not being able to be honest. Look what steps and lengths i’ve gone to gamble its crazy.

    Now its time to concentrate on myself and my recovery.

    but self respect, guilt and trust will always be lost- they are more important.

    Здравей Джейни, Да, свързах се с Рут, за да получа 1 към 1 поддръжка с нея. Рут каза, че ще отсъства тази седмица и ще се върне следващата седмица. Надяваме се чакането и препятствията да не продължат твърде дълго. Удивително е да видите, че някой може да бъде в програмата след 2 дни, като прочете горното.

    Hola janey, sí, me he puesto en contacto con Ruth para obtener ayuda personalizada con ella. Ruth dijo que está ausente esta semana y volverá la semana que viene. Con suerte, la espera y los obstáculos no serán mucho más largos. Es asombroso ver que alguien puede estar en el programa en 2 días leyendo lo anterior.

    Ahoj janey, ano, kontaktoval jsem Ruth, abych s ní získal podporu 1: 1. Ruth řekla, že je tento týden pryč a příští týden zpátky. Doufejme, že čekání a překážky nebudou příliš dlouhé. Je úžasné vidět, že někdo může být v programu za 2 dny a přečíst si výše uvedené.

    Sveiki, janey, jā, es esmu sazinājies ar Rūtu, lai saņemtu 1 līdz 1 atbalstu ar viņu. Rūta teica, ka šonedēļ viņa ir prom un nākamnedēļ atgriezīsies. Cerams, ka gaidīšana un šķēršļi nebūs pārāk ilgi. Ir pārsteidzoši redzēt, ka kāds 2 dienu laikā var būt programmā, lasot iepriekš minēto.

    Привет, Джейни! Да, я связался с Рут, чтобы получить с ней поддержку один на один. Рут сказала, что ее нет на этой неделе, а на следующей – вернется. Надеюсь, ожидание и препятствия не продлятся слишком долго. Удивительно видеть, что кто-то может быть в программе уже через 2 дня, прочитав вышеизложенное.

    Bună janey, da, am contactat-o pe Ruth pentru a primi asistență de la 1 la 1 cu ea. Ruth a spus că este plecată săptămâna aceasta și se întoarce săptămâna viitoare. Sperăm că așteptarea și obstacolele nu vor fi mult mai lungi. Este uimitor să vezi că cineva poate fi în program în 2 zile citind cele de mai sus.

    Hi janey,

    Yes i’ve contacted Ruth to get 1 to 1 support with her. Ruth said she is away this week and back next week.

    Hopefully the wait and obstacles wont be too much longer.

    It’s amazing to see someone can be in the programme in 2 days reading the above.

    Merhaba janey, Evet, Ruth ile 1'e 1 destek almak için onunla iletişime geçtim. Ruth bu hafta uzakta olduğunu ve gelecek hafta döneceğini söyledi. Umarım bekleyiş ve engeller çok uzun sürmez. Yukarıdakileri okurken birinin 2 gün içinde programda olabileceğini görmek harika.
