Today I start my recovery to turn my life around

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

I have completely fallen off for a while. I desperately need to get it back together.

In a difficult place right now, but I will keep battling.

@nomoregambles21 Hey mate. I also relapsed the other day and feel awful. But I guess that’s part of the process. We’ve got this. Each step is progression, no matter how small.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

Well if I can actually do it this time my recovery date will be 2/2/22.

@NoMoreBets365 Been a difficult day. I feel really deflated and like I’ve let myself and others down.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

@Kippislegend Thank you, means a lot.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

I feel so low. I fucked up and gambled £250. Money I desperately need for travel to uni. Why am I like this.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

I just want to be happy and normal, not constantly worrying about things. I feel so gutted and low, I’m ruining my life and my future.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

@ARecoverer I’ve changed a lot of things and it was just a sudden moment and I was going to the bookies. It was so strange. I feel gutted.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

@aftergambling You’ve helped me so much. You should be proud of the part you play in people’s recovery. I would argue people that have gone trough gambling addictions are “experts”.

[Gambling with Lives @GambleWithLives]

This poll in today's @thetimes clearly demonstrates the public mood for gambling reform

@nomoregambling0 Smashed it mate!

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

@NoMoreBets365 Huge fan of Messi, so mainly his shirts. But got some others like Roma, PSG, Barca and Morocco.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

@NoMoreBets365 I love football shirts. Have any obscure ones?

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

“It's not the losing that destroys every gambler, it's the winning that does it”

I’m sure we all remember our first big win. If that first bet wasn’t a win, I wonder if we’d ever have this problem.

Yes it is!

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

@nomoregambling0 Yes I agree, the buzz had gone for me by the end and it was more relief when I had ran out of money to gamble. But the buzz I get now is from playing football.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 @recoverygambler]

What are things you do to replace that “buzz” of gambling?

@violet_wilmot Congratulations, well done!

@DeanMKearney I’m 23 so maybe advice will be more relatable. Think about how you will smash this upcoming week. Each step at a time mate.
