Hi Emma,
Welcome to the forum, your story is so similar to mine – on and off gambling, emptied bank account, hitting rock bottom, self-exclusions, loans due to gambling etc. Well done on taking the step to join up here and start a journal, looking forward to hearing your continued success!
I discovered this forum about 2.5 weeks ago, and have been gamble free since, that temptation to just deposit a 20 or 30 – “Just to chance my arm” has been there alright, but we know that will always yield the same results as before, an emptied bank account and misery. However It is so nice to not see heaps and heaps of 20-30 shameful transactions on my account.
Keep it going, would love to continue reading of your success, Myself, yourself and Pie above will hit the 6 month milestone together.
