Jacqueline. Thank you for your video and sharing openly and honestly. Very well done on being in recovery. I am alcoholic 32 years sober, gambling addict 4 years sober, sex addict 1 months sober, and food addict, coffee and sugar 5 days sober. Yes in early days recovery can be hard. But with time it gets easier. At least with alcohol and gambling it has for me. I see that it is not where the journey begins, but the fact that it has begun. And more importantly where it ends. Again thank you very much. You have one more subscriber. Much love all the way from Australia. I wish you well. Sober John.
You're so fucking inspiring and motivating. I'm looking forward to watching every video on this page and see your journey. Sending love and peace. Positivety. Thank you for sharing
Hi I really wanted to let you know how much this helps. I am from the UK and I am also going through the same stuff. I am a 28 year old who is struggled with gambling issues/addiction since I was 18. I went to uni at 18 and developed a gambling addiction that ruined my life. I see myself in you and wondered if there was a way to contact you ?
❤️🙏 Thank you, more content up shortly, i want to give authentic and honest material because we know this devil called gambling is just as real. We are our own light in the darkness, time to reclaim it!
Kia ora too you Jacqueline. Appreciate your insight and depth. Totally in agreement with your explanations and truth. Realised the other day I was missing something realising my thought pattern in that moment I realised I was feeling broke and wondering how I was going to get my grand moko a present with little I had. As it is a complexed and emotional journey I was able to identify it. And talk myself out of thinking that I'm a failure and realised I would be more of a failure if I drop $2 $4 then yes we know how that goes. In the end it was the sounds the bright lights the anticipation I felt I was missing. I was about to go were my emotions were afraid to go and I didn't. Followed through on that hikoi (walk) and I have a smile on my face not a frown. Arohamai to you. Your voice is quiet angelic. Are you a singer or vocalist by chance?
I'm thinking you have other things you possibly do that gets you capability. You have the capability to do so. Extremes possibly to know how far you can go that does feed the casino at another moment. So there is no pretense I'm not going to casinos or ever have. I do know obsessions, extremes, mood swings, anxiety, depression, ending myself thoughts, isolation. I'm no saint, maybe a monster. I'm thinking replacement methods, for example if i am ruminating i will turn to another thing i ruminate about. If i consciously do this i can divert. For example i can be playing games on n on. To stop i will play a handheld texas holdem game. I have many other divert things. If i didn't there is only singularity. Apathetic depressive mind is narrow in activity. Your personal replacements are there somewhere, connecting them is doable. I don't buy that extra beer cause i want to ride my bicycle. If extremes are rush for you possibly replace with an opposite such as you have to find a hundred sea shells or you have to pet a horse today. Then you have a mission which has to do with extremes. Your imagination to get to this or that is still going to have to do with capabilities. Eventually you may get to that dopamine. so trying a few things to get to new activities is replacement as well. Some thoughts. You got me thinking.
Oh absolutely, diversions and hobbies will be in coming videos. What I've noticed though, especially with addicts, that we have that tendency to substitute or become addicted to something else... Tends to be all or nothing, and when ur head isn't clear and without understanding our addiction, the distraction can be equally as damaging because the will to stop becomes a will to substitute.. And not always in a healthy manner.
@@thementalhustle i think what i suggested is a doable thing. If it twists around self harm my suggestion is to replace. There is an alcoholic gal i message. She is in denial, she will say anything to stay in despair. My good friend will likely die of liver cerosis. My long time bf is avoidant about alcoholism. My sister is addicted to validation n male power. I say anything to any of them they get blank faces. Compulsivity. My buddy straight up says he drinks to death cause life is boring. Now that i understand, no denial at least not in his quick answer. What friend do i have if they are detained by being vegetables. Loneliness multi faceted, friends care or are bothersome about ones demise. Sad thing is people n their scumbag families get whatever they want with the lives they've sucked away from others lives n families.
@@rob850 we are all on the path to recovery and some are morw further ahead than others. We have to remember to bw compassionate because we too, were once there. Denial is a real thing, all we can do is hope that our story will influence someone else, but in our revovery6 its vital that our needs come first. Compassion is so important
@@thementalhustle i think people have taking care of their needs first down real well. Im not feeling too good lately about sincerity or humans proposed true intentions, even looking at myself in the mirror. Your cycle may be crystal clear to you. Your presentation isn't going to be perhaps. The darkness of your behaviors is possibly a defense. Keeping yourself in a cage in a way. Some thoughts that can be applied universally. Not necessarily an arrow at you. I sense an invitation to figure you out. I do not doubt there is an entity that holds certain people down.
@@rob850 take a step back ans focus on yourself, alot of what u have written has been comments about others, that's not ur cross to carry. Dont get distracted
Where are you jackie i miss your vidios hope you doinv okay

Sometimes you need to gamble in life. Don't let it be your life.
