Made it through 3 weeks without gambling. Been to my GP and she thinks I might have problems with depression/ anxiety. I have been referred to a psychologist. There is potential the compulsive gambling was linked and I was using it as a form of escapism in order to get a quick high in my life. Don’t really like to make excuses for myself as I like to think I am a stronger person than that. I guess I’ve always had at least one thing in my life that has dominated my personal life and served as a form of escapism. We will wait and see what the specialist thinks. If that is the case I guess I need to find a healthier obsession that might help me find that escape. I have been playing a lot of video games lately so maybe that could be a part of the answer.
