Another attempt at giving up gambling after 40 years of doing it!
Hi i have gambled all my life but now want a different life as it has been like living two lives rather than oneÂ
@ruthi15 i feel the same. This secret kills me. Also the same and guilt. I often wonder do people know
I am also making an effort to stop but finding it difficult because I have been gambling for many years, mostly out of boredom. You get one life. Why be miserable. Yes, that's how it makes me feel whether I win or lose. I feel miserable because I know I've opened pandora's box. One day at a time. Now that you have acknowledged that you have a problem and want to stop surely that is progress and you are on your way to recovery. 40 years you can't get back but you can keep the next many years you have left. Good luck on your journey to recovery.Â
