I am new to the forum and wanted to say hi and to say although difficult this horrible addiction can be overcome. I have battled and relapsed for years however I decided enough was enough and resolved to fight it. I havent gambled fir eighteen months now. I know the road ahead will be slippery and I will have to work hard to stay free from it but life is better. I can breathe now and feel a weight has been lifted. Its so hard and easier said than done but im half way there and feel there is hope. Please dont give up. It isnt easy but if you try you will feel a huge sense if accomplishment.
