Hi tyger
Tend not to go into this too much with people at first..but you seem to be hanging around a bit... Do you think its time to get more serious with your recovery? Yes meetings are a part of GA but they are only the tip of the iceberg.... GA is a 12 step recovery program for a reason.... Perhaps its time to have a read of the 'Be a sponsor' book that groups should have copies of...if not ask the secretary to order some from the literature officer...

When i was nine i use to play cards with the rents for e,tra pocket money... Dumb move... When i waS eighteen i was old enough to sign on so now i had my own income... I would play fruit machines... Dumbmove When i was twenty i moveed to Manchester.... I lived on top of the takeaway where i also worked.. I am currently in London... I was introduced to the casino where i got hooked to black jack... I rarely win so idk why i kept going back every single week... Even when i did win at the end ofthe day i would lose itback... I would get paid on a saturday night then straight to the casino after work... I would even pay my work college a tenner to drive me there... Iwould get paid on a saturday night and on that same night i would lose all my wages.... Come monday myday offi be skint so i would borrow some money off the boss and he will take it off my wages when i get paid next week... So every week i would have less money as the boss takes the money i owe off and its just a vicious circle... Sothats what i did for 1.5 years until i had a mental breakdown and ran back to london... So for 15 years i was on benefits due to mental health... I would not buy or payfor anything all my benefits would go on gambling... I would always be skint until payday then i blow all the money in that day iget paid... So now the present... I am now off benefits so happy Smile I have been working part time since 18/05/2015... But i am still gambling... Idk know whyi bother... I would win but at the end of the day i would lose back my winnings and even more... Then i would pawn my belongings to chase my loses... I dontneed the extra money so idk why im still gambling... The money i make is more than enough for me... So from today i need to stop gambling... Its the first bet i neec to avoid if i avoid the first bet then i wont lose then no neex to chase my loses... So now im paying off my depts every month and i still have plenty money tospare if i dont gamble so why do i do it Sad... Thanks... My namez Tyger79 and im a compulsive gamlber Today i will not gamble

Yeah like i said i dont need the extra money through gambling so why do i bother coz when i lose that is when the chasing begins and makes things worst

I cant keep saying i just have to do... Tyger

Wb back Tyger,
Hope you keep going to meetings... maybe now is the time to get a sponsor...really start working the GA recovery program?? Wish it wasn't always necessary but this can be a progressive addiction.... Keep doing the basics and please keep sharing... good to see you back Smartie xx |
