Hello there, I am CWW. I am a gambling addict and have had a very difficult time with over the last 6 months.

I have been gambling on and off for 10 years now. I got extremely addicted to crypto trading. I tried to convince myself this wasn't gambling, but it is and it has messed up my brain quite a bit. 

I am trying to get better and put my life back together. It isn't easy but I am doing it one step at a time.
