    Hi Jackie I hope you are still doing well, I have struggled all my entire life with G and at the moment feel constantly down and sad. I seem to have water behind my eyes but can’t seem to cry. G has unfortunately consumed me over the years, I like yourself wish I could stop for good and just be myself again. Take care

    Looking forward to seeing your fresh start work out ! Get what your saying re enablers but on the flip slide we are responsible for our own decisions. Not making a decision is a decision in itself.

      I think that if we've made the conscious decision to be in a relationship, then it should be exactly like that. If we decide to be single, then we need to be that for ourselves. We feed off the energy we're around and sometimes we need that extra ❤️and thank you❤️❤️😊😊 so happy that you're still with the channel here and we're all still fighting 💪💪

    You very articulate in the way you speak and discuss situations impressive hi there was looking through UA-cam and found your videos in my search for gambling addiction relapse ,after 32 years gambling crazy daily hundreds off thousands pounds gone was 2 years absolutely gambling free and I've only gone and relapsed last week and its fucking blown me side ways just admitted today to peer because if I didn't I was inches away from hiding it and going into fuck it mode and completely blowing my 2 years off amazing work and strength so glad I reached out today totally admitted my fuck up and your wee videos have given me that little light back wee bit understanding and insite thank you 😊 🙏

    So happy for you! 😊 thaaat gorgeous smile of yours 😊
    I had a, maybe similar, maybe not so much, thing that happened to me with just a pal with whom I'd talked about my problem and shared quite a lot and thought I was understood...
    But like after a month or two of me being clean and happy with the fact, there comes the person, coming back from some event, telling me they brought me some...merchandise (magnet or something) from a very specific casino brand 😳
    Like, wtf, dude, I've been successfully trying to stay away from this sh** and you come to me and basically tell me you associate me with a gambling brand and even think this is going to make me happy?! Wow.

      I had gambling friends who always wanted me to go out with the Nikki so I can totally relate . Even when they knew I was trying not to go and succeeding in that , they still asked me to go with instead of saying good for you .. I have sence removed all gambling friends from my life and am all the better for it . Much love ♡

      That is so true! My dad have multiple times said too me "just stop gambling". Its not that easy. He Will never know the feeling of when you lose selfcontrol in that way. And most People Will never know the anxiety and pain of being a gambling addict who cant stop.

      Enabling is more about keeping and maintaining contentment for fear of being alone (i think).. And its a pity

      There will always be negative comments but we just pray for grace. Grace to accept the things and minds we cannot change. We pray that understanding is found as it benefits many and kindess. Kindness because even if we're not understood, at least we didn't cause additional pain to ignorance.
