I haven’t been around this way for a while but have been reading through many many posts, yours included my friend, I just wanted to wish you well and to say keep at it, I am also a compulsive gambler and have been for many years fighting hard against this addiction, all I know is when I gamble my life becomes unmanageable and when I choose recovery I become my real truth self.
Take care and stay strong, “one day at a time” a better life is possible and I can promise you that, wish you all the very best in the world.
