Been reading your posts with interest, keep it up.
Attempting to stay gamble free myself. After a few relapses, I’ve been thinking about gambling less and less this week. Just been concentrating on work, gym etc You mentioned being defined as a compulsive gambler, I really believe that we have the power to change how we are defined with support from our friends/family/these forums and move on from compulsive gambling. It’s such a negative pattern of behaviour and I know first hand how it changes you.
Take it easy, Steve
