I'm Justinian

[Justinian]

I have joined to seek and perhaps give support about my gambling addiction and how it is ruining my alcohol addiction. I don't have enough money for both addictions, so I will eventually have to choose. Anyhow, I'm also very anxious, generally and interpersonally. I have thrown away a promising career because I didn't believe I was a person who deserved happiness, success or companionship... or even that I actually was and am a person. I am extremely unwell in many ways.

Thanks for the welcome.

My family has rejected me. My mother accused me of stealing all her morphine. I didn't. And she stole it from her mother, my grandmother. Then I stole my deceased uncle's tramadol, which he no longer required, but since his estate was left to my father this means I stole the tramadol from my father, but my father didn't know my uncle, his brother, had any tramadol and tramadol is a prescription-only medication and so my father couldn't legally inherit it, so it seems that I didn't steal the tramadol after all, I just illegally acquired it and illegally swallowed it.

But that was months ago.

I don't even like morphine.
