i know i have a problem now, very new to this. - pjimi - 25-07-2010 this is the first time i have been on this website, its 04:00 ive just lost all the money i had for my rent and what i was due to family members. im loosing my friends, and loosing any sort of life i once had, i used to be into hanging out with my friends and drinking having a laugh and music. all i think about is playing poker, im still in denial, but i want to stop before it gets worse. I know its going get worse. I want to go to a GA meeting but where do i start. Did anybody ever get there life they once had. I feel i have nothing left both financially and socially everything.

Regards Helen Re: i know i have a problem now, very new to this. - ESUMMUSE - 25-07-2010 The place to start is to goto a meeting and listen to other people there, take heed of their notice and keep trying to give up. Also come on the live chat here as well but it is not a substitute for meetings Re: i know i have a problem now, very new to this. - pjimi - 25-07-2010 thanks i have had a chance to read alot of the posts on here and see where alot of things come from. thanks for all the support. i have though alot about what happens just doesnt happen to me. |
