I have been gambling for about 14 years now and in that time, it has gradually got worse.  My husband is also a cg so it makes it very hard for me to stay focused and try to quit.  Everytime we go out together we end up gambling.  I am now at the stage where I really want to quit.  I am seeing a counsellor who is fantastic, and this site is so helpful.  One day last week when I had the urge to gamble, I actually drove through the carpark and then straight back home – I actually came to my senses and felt proud of myself for not giving in.  This time I am determined to stay away from gambling as much as possible and hopefully with all the support and friendship here on Gambling Therapy, I will be able to achieve my goals.Ciao
