1st Day without gambling

Hi Wayne, welcome to the Forum,

Well done for posting here - this is a very postive step, one which may push you in a more postive direction.

If you explain more about your situation and what led you to this point, then people here would be able to give you structured and in-depth advice.

Hope to hear more from you. The good thing is that you are only 27 - you have time to put everything right and create a whole new, gamble-free life for yourself.
