Hi ive been gambling for 18 years i decided 3 weeks ago im being destroyed. Its so hard and gives me hope to see you 5 years down the line beating this addiction.At now the thought of 5 years seems impossible but one day at a time.Your amazing dont beat yourself up about the past you have turned it around your path forward is what matters.I just hope i can follow your footsteps. Looks like your inna lorry im a long distance lorry driver the large wages access to the service stations have destroyed me temptation everywhere everytime i have a break.keep doing what your doing keep posting believe me you vids are really making a difference thankyou x
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, even though I'm sure it isn't easy to put yourself out there like you have. you will probably never know how many people you have helped by putting your story out there. I found your channel a few years ago, and have had a few relapses in between then and now. I was so happy to see your new video, and even happier once I watched it. It gives me hope seeing that you have been clean almost 5 years, and that you were able to resist giving in to the recent temptation. I know it can't be easy to put yourself out there with these videos, but by doing so you are inspiring me, and I am sure, many more who do not comment.
Thank you so much for your kind words, honestly it's appreciated. I put myself out there on here, in media and things to create awareness of the harms of gambling but also to help anyone going through it, also it's my journey in recovery. I feel that if I describe my journey people can may take bits and bobs that worked for me and it may work for them or maybe look at things a different way etc, I just hope it helps I really do. I am just about to record another video and at moment they will be pretty much regular. On yourself, I know relapses can feel like end of world and obviously I would never encourage it but it's also an opportunity to learn what lead to it, where windows of opportunity to gambler were left open, why they was left open and a chance to close the windows, build on each day, maybe even each hour at start and start to build a life without this horrendous addiction bringing us down. Thank you for your support.
@@secondchanceaddiction7619 It absolutely helps, and thank you so much for responding. And you are right, relapses (or even near relapses) signal a need to put more safeguards in place. For me, having a plan of action on what I can do if and when the urge to gamble hits me is paramount. I really look forward to seeing more of your videos.
