Hi guys, I hope everyone is well.
It has been 5 days since I made the choice to give up gambling.
My goal now is to support others who also have or had a gambling problem. The first step I took was posting my story and progress so far in the Recovery Diaries section. I have learned a lot of things and summed up at the end of my post with advice. I am pleased that my story has had nothing but positive replies and has touched others. I hope it continues to do so.
