I was a secret gambler. This rings true for me. My husband and family knew nothing. Constantly hiding my emotions. But the constant dread at night to wake up and be found out and be alone. #masks #gambling #addiction #liar #afraid #gascotland #dread

Coming up for 5 years ago I realised this, my husband had no idea of my gambling. My constant internal torture of lying and putting on a face of being ok. I’m so glad I found GA and my recovery started. I needed to change #recovery #life #freshstart #addiction #gascotland

Before GA - I had no belief or love for myself. It was a constant cycle of misery and self hatred. Then I came in to the fellowship
of GA, for me it was for a better life #belief #strive #better #gascotland #love #happiness #addiction #12steps #GamblingTwitter #peace #serenity

I know now in recovery, I can’t bet normal, it wouldn’t be a small
wager. I’d go right back to being all in. My life today isn’t worth the risk. Nor is losing my loved ones. Today I am happy gambling free #recovery #GamblingTwiiter #betterlife #happy #serenity #peace

Being a recovering gambling addict isn’t always easy - what works for me is little steps. Every day progressing is better than slipping back. All the little steps in my recovery brought me to a happy and better honest life #recovery #steps #12steps #gascotland #happy #honest

Going to my first meeting was a massive step, but every step after in GA was manageable and small steps are important in recovery #recovery #12steps #GamblingsTwitter #addiction #life #happiness #courage

My life was crumbling. I never believed that it would ever repair. But due to GA and being in recovery for nearly 5 years my life is wonderful. Today I can go to sleep with ease -not dreading the chaos my gambling would bring me in the morning. #recovery #gascotland #peaceofmind

Was so easy to focus on recovery when I came in to GA, my marriage was over. My new loved ones know my recovery is priority and essential to me surviving. #betterlife #recovery #life #living #gascotland #serenity #acceptance #happiness

It’s hard to accept the part in italics - as that was my gambling self. However as a gambler in recovery I can celebrate that who I became brought me to who I am now. Hopefully a better person #recovery #change #better #gascotland #addiction #hope

It isn’t always easy but I don’t regret a thing. Who knew starting recovery meant my mind would become calm, less chaotic #GamblingTwiiter #recovery #gascotland #peace #serenity #12steps #RecoveryPosse

I wanted the full staircase - my life to be better instantly. But the first step I took of contacting GA and going to my first meeting was the beginning and best step I ever took. That 1st step made the next steps seem less steep #recovery #gascotland #12steps #gambling

Before reaching out to GA I never thought I could start over, and that my world wasn’t over. In recovery I started again and love my life today #recovery #RecoveryPosse #gascotland #startagain #freshstart #happiness #BetterThings

In recovery I have a lot less bad days. But if I do - I know tomorrow is a new day and my life would be 💯 times worse if still gambling #recovery #addiction #12steps #gambling #GamblingsTwitter #badtimes #happiness #Motivation

First time I realised I wasn’t alone was after my 1st meeting in GA. Knowing there were others like me and there was hope. Hope that my life could get better and I could stop gambling and causing destruction #recovery #family #hope #fellowship #gascotland #12steps
