Hey kin thanks for the reply.

Good for you for keeping at it. Ive been busy at work last few days so havent had time to post but it has gotten me to day 4 today happily. Juat like you said, i feel like im going through withdrawal symptoms which is so strange that gambling can make you feel this way. I have times throughout the day where I feel angry, impatient, irritable and just frustrated with people. I keep thinking about gambling and my brain gets foggy and then later on i catch my self and wonder why i go into those trances. Ive realized i use it as an escape because when im gambling, i completely forget about everything else in the world and focus entirely on the gamble but don’t stop until i run out of funds and then everything else comes flooding back in. Im not sure what it is about daily life that im trying to subconsciously escape but i feel addicted to being in that state of “escape” though.

So yea I feel very vulnerable at the moment aswell but taking it one day at a time
