Hi Twnmum, well done on looking for help. Read the other threads here, you will see a lot of things that you will relate to. You will also see the success stories – what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation?
You will see that many people put barriers in place; where do you normally gamble? Get yourself excluded. How do you finance it? What financial barriers can you put in place?
The most important advice that I can ever give is – use the help that is availabel, if we could do it on our own then none of us would be here in the first place. Keep posting here, connect to the groups, check out your other support options such as Gamblers Anonymous meetings.
There is a lot of life after gambling, you can enjoy being a grandmother. By focusing on your own recovery you will be better placed to also be ther for your daughter, grand daughter and other family. Keep posting and let us know the positive steps that you are taking.
