Phillip you’re mind is used to just one kind of stimulation — its confused. Someone here used an analogy of a glass of water — your brain has been filled with only gambling for a long time and then you start trying to put other things in your brain so you have to dump out some in order to fill it with other activities — you keep doing this until the glass is filled with your new life. It is not a fast process — its gradual change as you start to be able to enjoy doing something other than the one and only activity that has consumed so much of your life for so long. I can tell you that if you don’t give up you WILL begin to feel enjoyment from other things and it will be an eye opener. At first it will be just a little and not for long and then you just keep trying to grow it until you find you’re waking up one day and sitting outside enjoying a cup a coffee or just watching the grass grow in the first time in years. There is really nothing like it. Pumkin
