Thanks for the responses, I am going to try and take it day by day . The hardest part about it is not having people to talk to about it because you don’t know anyone who relates to your situation. Now it feels like I’ll be meeting many people who have shared experiences. I have faith in all of us , that we can overcome this !
Fighting the urge to gamble has been the most difficult challenge in my life . I want to gamble more than I want to be around family and friends . I close myself off from people who really want to get close to me because I know deep down the type of person I’ve been and I don’t want them to suffer for my wrong doing . As you can see I know I have a problem and desperately want to quit gambling but I feel I can not achieve this goal on my own .
