Thank you for the comments, it’s feels good knowing I’m not alone. It’s Saturday and I have the weekend off! The first 2 days off In a row I’ve had in about six weeks. Woke up feeling pretty bad today but it didn’t last long. I spent a few hours last night reading a thread by Adam from start to finish. It really helped keep me sane. Realised my problem is that I’m to impatient. I know in a couple years I could make back the money I lost but I want instant results. Maybe I could spend a year working extra hours at work but that’s easier said than done. I think I’m going to clean my room today, then relax later with a pizza and couple beers. The thought of gambling still makes me feel sick, but I know when the pain of losing starts to fade away, the urges will come back. I’m most worried about what my family would say if they found out, but they didn’t know I had the money in the first place so it should be ok. I know people say it’s best to tell family but I don’t want to put that stress on my mum. I haven’t been gambling as long as most people on here.Only 3 years, its only got bad in the past 6 months maybe so addiction hasn’t gripped me too hard. Things are going to get better, just need to give it time.
