Hello. Bit nervous posting here. Been browsing for a while but finally bit the bullet to join. I am mum to two boys and a husband (or man child as it were.) I am also a gambling addict. This is the first time I have written it down and even confessed it to myself. I need to stop or it will destroy the lives of everyone I care about. I'm in so much debt from gambling and I have done things I am not proud of to fund my addiction. Recovery starts today. I also suffer from BPD, anxiety and OCD, as well as chronic illnesses and used gambling as a way to numb my daily struggles.
Today is day 1 and the only day 1 I hope I will ever have.
