***** Linnie,
I really enjoyed reading your experiences and others who have posted.
As a compulsive gambler I know one thing that I have learnt in recovery and out of recovery; Look after yourself I know me and I can only make it work for me , nobody knows I am a compulsive gambler and if they did they still wouldnt understand.Take it one hour , one half day , a day at a time.Find something to occupy the time you would spend gambling if you find other things too much of a “punishment” or things suggested by others as ” not cool” or “not your own” and in fact make you want to return find something that YOU want to do that will take your mind and give you that break needed to get over the gambling urge periods. Things are better without a bet on today.
