I found that it took a long time for the urge to gamble to leave me … and just being in the presence of slots would switch the urges back on again. So I would consider telling your friends that you have a bit of a problem with gambling, so that they will not try and get you to join them in their gambling.
Be very proud of your gambling free time – but please don’t let your guard down … keep going with your recovery as passionately as you were going with your gambling. I wish you well.
