Well done Richard!
You have taken the first and most difficult step in admitting you have a problem. It takes a lot of courage to do that.
One thing I have learned about gambling is that Recovery will not come to us. We have to look for it.
Now that you have found this site the World can be your oyster.
What they give us here , is a “bag of tools” which we can use to our advantage, with lots of help and support or we can throw them to one side and do it our own way.
Initially, I thought I could do it my way but I failed miserably hundreds of times so my advice would be to try to stay clean from the getgo. I would recommend the Thursday/Friday groups to you . And every other group that’s listed on the Forum. The facilitators know the ropes, Richard, so no hope of fooling them. I tried that too!
Anyway, best wishes for a G free future.
You have lots of time to start over again.
You don’t want to be looking back when you’re my age saying “if only, if only!”
CGs never win!
