Hi, Your story is not unique to us CG's and we understand you.
The GA meetings saved my life as I had, like you, reached my 'rock bottom'. I had tried many other things to stop gambling but nothing seemed to work for me until I became honest with myself and with others and finally admitted defeat.
Go along to a meeting and see how you feel at least you will be talking with other people who have walked in your shoes. I call the GA meeting 'my family' because at the end of the day I had nothing left either. My gambling friends, my family, work colleagues etc didn't want to know me any more and I was in this world totally alone.
Today, I live a 'normal', happy and spiritual life and would not risk it for anything or anyone.
Give it a go - you have nothing to lose.
Regards
Helen
