Welcome to the site. ive been a member for the last 7 days and im pleased to say 7 gambling free days.
i read your post and can honestly say i have done exactly the same as you did on numerous occasions.. the last time being last friday payday.
i dont know why i did it, i probably never will do.. but the main thing is to make sure it doesnt happen again.
the last week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. this time im so determined to change my life because for the last 10 years ive been in the grip of this disease. Like you im 35 years old and should be enjoying my best years.. but for some reason gambling has always dictated what i do.
i really hope that you can find the inner strength to train your mind to get through this..
one day at a time my friend.
keep posting updates.. it really helps, believe me
