It is great that you have come here and that you recognise that for compulsive gamblers – gambling is NOT fun. Also that we lose the value of money (and it takes some time to get that back.) I hope you have got good support for yourself. I know the early days are the hardest.
Just one thing – don’t push yourself to pay off your debts too quickly. It can be a trigger if money gets really tight or if you are so keen to be debt free that you forget to give yourself non-gambling treats occasionally.
Keep posting and being so positive!
