Hello all
Day one - new member. What a mess I've gotten myself into. But if I can really stop, things can only get better from here. 36 y/o who has been gambling to deal with the pain of loss and worrying about family stress (not blaming them, but when they have problems, are sick etc. that is my trigger).
I used to gamble when I was a teenager/in my early 20s. Nothing serious, few random football bets. As I got older I gradually stopped and lost interest.
Until.....
After my mum died, I started getting into going to the casino. I slightly lost the plot a bit - was travelling a lot for work and found casinos were a great place to allow yourself to be self destructive, gambling away your money and drinking until late hours.
I've never tried to stop or admitted it was a problem until today. And today is day one and I've decided I'm going to stop, before it impacts on my day to day life, finances and relationships.
So please wish me good luck and I'll be checking out different stories!
Day two isn't far away and time is the only healer
