Thanks Dunc I can honestly say the programme has completely changed my life for the better.
I haven’t been on for a whole so I thought I’d give a an update of my situation. I am proud to say I’m now 39 weeks gamble free and my life is is much more positive now. I have a new job, my finances are back to manageable levels but more importantly Lloyd is coming back. For the last 17 years I never knew who I was, what i wanted which was mainly clouded by a gambling haze. And for the last 39 weeks I’ve been rediscovering myself and seeing a different world without gambling and what a joy it is. I never thought life would be possible without gambling in it and the key component is to take day by day. I am now proud to be in recovery and continue to get stronger every day.
I’m very proud to say I am now 17 weeks gamble free and starting to take back control. For once in a very long time my life seems to have levelled with no more roller coaster of emotions that gambling brings. My last 1-1 counselling session is tomorrow and I do feel a sense of wanting to stay connected to the GMA programme. But one thing I’ve leant from the last 17 weeks is the strength and confidence in my self which has always been there but was clouded by the tangles of gambling. I feel so much stronger now but not naive enough to get complacent. I take each day by day and remember that every new day away from gambling is a good day.
