Day 1

If you are gambling 2 grand a day i would advise seeking some professional help as the addiction will be seriously deep routed

Cold turkey and blocking may not be enough there could be some serious underlying issue within your life/ personality 

Hi

Thank you for being open and honest on here.

Please understand that the addiction is just the symptoms that you may be emotionally vulnerable.

For me escaping in my fears and going gambling just made things much worse and cuased my self more pains.

If you are able to go to GA meetings or any open recovery meeting it all helps. 

You are correct going back to gambling just make thinsg much worse.

You opening up and being honest is a big start to finding help and recovery.

Investing time an energy in to your recovery can turn thinsg around and help you heal from your pains.

In time I accepted that money lost is gone and surrender to the fact I would not get it back.

Please eak help in your recovery.

Sadly for me I was not able to stop gambling from day one which is often the case.

Yet by attending more than one meeting per week I was not able to abstain from gambling but I was abale to become much more healthy and less afraid over time.

By understanding when I was emotionally vulnerable I was able to stop reacting in such unhealthy ways over time.

I am a non religious person yet I have found peace and healing in my recovery.

Love and peace to every one
