Hi all,
Just returning to wish all of the people who shared their wisdom and support well and hopefully help others on here.
Glad to see a lot of people fighting the good fight.
I've not had a bet in over 7 and a half months and still my same attitudes towards not gambling.
Take care everyone!

Well done mate! I take you was never a compulsive gambler though so it's easy for you to give him like this!
Hey!
Not compulsive......used it for escapism stupidly. Nipped it in the bud luckily before it got out of hand. Still went through one relapse after two months and the self loathing, guilt, anxiety etc
Looking back hard to imagine why but learnt a valuable lesson. Still use blockers and well and truly broke the time, money, location triangle. Had the gambling fog for quite a few months at the start of recovery.
I think while money lost is not always the issue, it's the going out of control is. Hence coming here and stopping. But as you say, it's a tougher thing to crack if you e been at it a long time!
Take it easy!
Hi Areturntoabette,
Good to see you checking in here and well done for not gambling in the last 7 months and a half!
I wish you all the best for your recovery.
Kind wishes
Gabriele
