1 yr on. Not completely gamble free but not far off. Almost debt free.. And now I have social life.. I don’t have many days where I hate myself. I actually like myself. I have a college at work who is where I was maybe 2 yrs ago.. Winning a lot and losing every now and again. I see how depressed he gets when he has lost a lot but still thinking ‘I’ll make it up next time’
I’ve tried to tell him but he thinks he’s no where near as bad as me. Anyway I’ve watched him struggle with the reality of being a compulsive gambler. He’s got a way to go yet. I want to intervene but he won’t let me. It helps me though, cause I know how far I have come. There’s no way I’m going back.. Well not ‘two step back’ anyway. So any new comers reading this.. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you’ve just gotta keeping chipping away at the bricks in the way..
