Thanks for speaking with me <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>John M.</strong> :  No problem at all michael how can I help you <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Michael</strong> :  I'm really struggling with gambling, its getting progressively worse. I have gambled my full wage. I'm in recovery for alcohol addiction. 14 months clean but I'm just replacing it with gambling. I lost everything to drink. I have a good family, job and love the fellowship but in never ever happy? <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>John M.</strong> :  I’m sorry to hear your struggling with gambling mate but you’ve came to the right place for help have you ever been to a ga meeting before?<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Michael</strong> :  I have once years ago. I stay in Kilmarnock. I didn't gamble for years but recently its all I think about. I've debt, which is on DAS but today is just oblivion. Say it'll just be 100 quid then boom, 1700 gone. Don't even want to win in the end. Just want it to be over of that makes sense. <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>John M.</strong> :  There’s a meeting in Kilmarnock tommorw night and one in Ayr on a Thursday michael I attend the irvine meeting on a Friday night there’s also meetings on a Monday at Troon and Ardrossan <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>John M.</strong> :  If you wanted to go to any I’m happy to meet you before the meeting and help you mate <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Michael</strong> :  I'll be up for going to the meeting tomorrow night in Kilmarnock. As I said I'm in fellowship with CA for my alcohol. I think I need to be around gambling addicts too. My family have been through so much but I know that fellowship will help me <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Michael</strong> :  I'm glad there are so many meetings in Ayrshire. Where is the meeting in Kilmarnock <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>John M.</strong> :  It’s certainly the best place to be mate the meeting is in the Kay park parish church I can meet you in the car park 15 mins before the meeting if you wanted say 19.15?<br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Michael</strong> :  If that's ok mate. I'd have no issue going on my own. Be good to meet some folk and get this sorted. What is the model of recovery for GA? I've tried to apply my 12 step program but I'm kidding myself on with it. I'm actually more miserable now and making my life worse then I was when drinking!! <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>John M.</strong> :  It’s focused on a 12 step recovery programme but people share there experiences and help each other if you wanted to give me a contact number I could also pass it on to a Kilmarnock member also <br></div><div style='font-size:16px';><strong>Michael</strong> :  Aye that be ideal mate.
