Hello Craig.
I have to say that we have lot in common. Its like you talking about me. I have also very addictive personality, when i love something i get very into it. Is it smoking, sports betting or whatever. I love sports and i know everything about sports, i am into sports very much.. In betting its loving the process, it doesnt matter if you win or lose. Okay, if you win then you are happy that you got more betting money, what you will never withdraw, you will lose this money anyway. I know, because i have done this thousand times. Trying to end this nonsense and having big urge and thinking about only 1 bet and when i bet the addiction is back and the animal is alive. 🙂
My steps are right now these, that i gave my bank account to my trusted friend and he is giving me every day 10 euros so i can buy food and smth like that. And when paycheck is coming then i send it automatically to my friend. Its just something that you have to do, just letting go the addiction and sending the money and not thinking about it. Its been for my 1 month, but if i bet 1 time then its again first day.
You should try this with you fiance, she will understand. Its main reason that you wanna quit and she will help you, she doesnt like that if you slowly destroy yourself.
Its messy writing, but i hope that you can understand, what i think! Thumbs up and be positive, its only what matters!
