Hi I’m here as like many others I have a problem gambling. Lost s**t loads of money but more importantly I want to learn how to fix the damage I have caused my poor brain! 

I have gambled so much, the effect of high and low must have affected my brain so much hope it can be fixed. 

I’m such a hidden gambler know body knows I gamble it’s a hidden secret, so I don’t have anywhere to off load or talk about my problems so I thought I would start here 🙂 

hello 🙂 Stay awesome!

I tried hypnotherapy. After that it kept my gamble free for the longest time since I started years ago just over 200 days.

dont get me wrong hypnotherapy is not a quick fix or you go and that’s it, but with my one every session that I was under got record d so I can listen to the recordings no when I need. I got complacent though and after doing so well to begin got complacent and since have relapsed a lot .

even apart from the therapy though it’s nice to just speak to someone face to face about the problem who you don’t know.

whatever you do good luck!

stay awesome also!!

i often wonder above the effects mentally, if we stop and stay stopped then our brains should be able to recover.

Hi

Sadly during my times consumed by my addiction and obsessions I was not able to heal my pains.

For me in my life there was emotional trauma also physical trauma, it time I would live in fears of emotional intimacy I did not understand. 

When I walked in to the recovery program which for me is non religious I found that I was emotionally traumatized.

In time I would understand that I was not a bad person evil person but I was emotionally vulnerable.

My emotional triggers were my pains not healed, my fears not faced, my frustrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations, my loneliness due to my fears of emotional intimacy, my feelings of boredom because I felt that life was boring, that I could succeed, that I avoided facing being accountable and I avoided facing challenges in my life.
My unhealthy reaction in my anger was due to my pains not healed, my fears not faced, my frustrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations, I use to think that being angry was healthy, not today being angry is not healthy in any way for me today.
My unhealthy reaction in my anger caused further aggression and confrontation, my anger caused people to fear me.
I want every one to be free of all fears towards me today.
I am no longer the victim, I am no longer the perpetrator, I am no longer the rescuer.
As our fears fade our trust grows, once we heal that hurt inner child our inner child comes out to play.
As our fears fade we no longer fear rejection or abandonment, we no longer fear failure, we no longer fear being our self.
Love and peace to every one

Hey 🙂 

I’m going to do some reading into it as I did concealing, but like yourself relapsed. I hope to live on the though of trying again and just not having it hunt my daily life!! Gets annoying and no one I know has a clue what’s going on so also feel like a solo ranger at times. Like when a S****y advert comes on it triggers and Something so basic as watching T.V is then dampend. It can be done that’s the main thing I guess! 

Good luck too hope we can be free one day 🙂 

Stay awesome
