I had a boyfriend who really gambled. He literally gambled with everyone’s money, mine, his mom’s, his brothers. His sister was the only one who steered clear of anything that had to do with him financially. Yet he was a complete narcissist. I got tired and tried to help first, by researching on how to recover gambling debts then I found a specialized recovery team(globlahackrevolutiongmailcom). He reached out to them and they recovered a lot of his losses. I didn’t realize I had done him the greatest disservice, because he just got way worse. Never seen anyone in my entire life who refuses to learn as much as he, and would always blame everyone and everything around him except himself. I soon had to had to leave and have never regretted that entirely wise decision a day in my life, plus I’m married now🥰💍to the man of my dreams.

"I believe the best mental health experts are those who have personally experienced mental health challenges." Absolutely! Thank you Wendi and thank you Mike for sharing your experience. May you both continue helping others through sharing your experiences.
Hi Wendy, Thank you for your supportive comments. I would be happy to share the details of my experience for learning how to overcome my addiction to using credit cards. I would prefer to share my learnings with you through your private email. I believe I have your email connection. So in the next couple days I will connect with you on your email connection. Talk to you soon,
Thank you Mike for sharing all your experience, pain, and recovery with us. What courage you had and still have...I am not a problem gambler. However, a few years ago I started using credit cards too much, and then learned to budget my spending. I had to get honest with myself, friends and family, and then get the appropriate support and knowledge to make the changes from leaning on credit cards to the transition of spending only what I had. Then I learned gradually to save money here and there. Today my credit score is 829, because I am responsible for my own budget and spending. I still find I have temptations. However, I now take one day at a time, and delete "spending" advertisements off my internet feed, and get support from my closest friends. I am also in another 12 step program that also reminds me to take one day and one step at a time.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Laura. I’d love to know more about how you stopped leaning on credit cards and got your credit score up to 829! If you don’t want to share those details here, you can email me privately or we can schedule a phone call.

Addictions of all kinds (even those society rewards, like addictions to work or shopping) harm relationships.
I’m happy to hear that you’re now married to the man of your dreams! My wonderful husband and I just celebrated our 34th anniversary.
