A warm welcome and I hope you will find the information, guidance and support you need here.
It’s great you have made a firm decision to ‘take your life back’. I don’t know what your ‘life before gambling’ was like, but I think that if you pursue a gambling-free life now, it will be a ‘new life’ – you will, I hope, get back some of what you had before, but you will also find that you are wiser and have a new way of seeing many things. Some people have used gambling to escape from pain in their life – choosing to reject this can help them begin to find better ways of dealing with life’s problems.
Whatever your background and experiences so far, I wish you well in this new journey. As Cat says, it’s One Day At A Time – slowly but surely.
