You have to be more kind to yourself Brother. Be more compassionate with how you speak to yourself during these times. You cannot change the past, you cannot change what you did and neither can I nor anyone else. But we can learn from this and grow. We can never make the same mistake again, we can rebuild our life gamble free, we can make money back, we can have gamble free time. time with loved ones, family, friends, partners. People spend money they have on gifts for you because they know you are a good person, you are not a bad person for being a compulsive gambler. You had an addiction That you are working at beating everyday. Remember the true meaning of Christmas is not gifts.. it’s moments
spent with those close to you. And if you can continue gamble free, to me that is the greatest gift of all that you can Give yourself ; and also to those around you that You think you’ve hurt with this addiction.
merry Christmas brother stay strong
