Morning NM,
Thanks for posting on my page. Sounds like you are doing well my friend. You can still enjoy watching Sport without the betting side of things.... Whether or not all the little voices in my head during games will ever go away who knows but I know there's a louder voice up there shouting NO!
I need the love and support of my wife and kids, the kids are too young to realise or understand. However my eldest daughter did see her dad crying for the first time, so I had to tell a little lie as why. Without these 4 people in my life I'd probably have lost a hell of a lot more. I cannot tell "best" friends as I know people gossip!
Strangely,I hate high street bookmakers, I think there disgusting places! These FOBTs they've all installed have ruined people's lives, there's so many people on this forum and in my GA meetings who have addiction to these machines! So I've got it into my head that on-line bookmakers are also disgusting and have nearly wrecked my life.
Hope you slept well. It's nice waking up without the worry of losses from the night before and planning your next bet!
All the best.
