Feel nervous putting it on here but if my story can help just one person with their addiction struggles then it will be worth it. Any RTs will be much appreciated. My DM’s are always open to anyone. See this thread for my story and struggles with gambling addiction

(1/2) I came clean about my gambling because I got caught, I had no other choice but to come clean. If I didn’t get caught, the chances are I wouldn’t be here today. All the damage I caused myself and more importantly loved ones was soo avoidable if i spoke up earlier.

(2/2) We need to make it ok to talk about addiction or any struggles that anyone has. Problem is people get soo deep in, that they see no other way out. If you’re showing any signs of any struggle with addiction or anything, please please talk up. It’s strength not weakness.

Everywhere you look these days, gambling. Even Bingo being advertised at 8am. Every major event, the first thing they bring up on TV is the odds. Why? Now, for me, it’s brilliant being able to enjoy sport without sitting on the edge of my seat, seeing if a bet was coming in.

@craig_roebuck Exactly mate, lifes brilliant without gambling, with it, it’s absolute carnage

‘Do you not feel like you’re missing out without gambling or going on days out like the races?’ No. I Have my life back now and I’m soo lucky. There’s only one thing in my life that I have no control over and can’t do, that’s gambling. Appreciate everything I have in life now❤️
