ADHD, Addiction and Atonement
Good day people,
I thought I should create this post because I really need help.
I am struggling mentally right now and my reasons to keep going are dwindling. I have been dealing with a gambling addiction for over 12 years and it has affected my life in a lot of ways. I also struggle with ADHD symptoms—focus, consistency, and just being able to follow through on things.
I’m 31 now and I feel like I have nothing to hold on to. I have tried several times to pick things up and rebuild, but I keep falling back.
One thing I’ve realized is that I actually have a lot of energy, but I’ve been channeling it into gambling instead of something meaningful. That energy is there, but it’s been going in the wrong direction.
The thing is, I know I’m not useless. I know I’m intelligent and resourceful, but I just haven’t been able to stay consistent or build anything stable.
At this point, I really need help in terms of mentorship and accountability.
I would like to actually start my life and focus on getting it together.
If anyone has gone through something like this or has practical advice on how to get out of this cycle, I would really appreciate it.
I want to live and be useful to society.
