hi im steve today is the day i am turning a new page in my life, i have always pointed blame at others/other addictions that lead me down this path of gambling,i have been gambling for 12 hardcore years aswell as C*****e,ectasy,speed,acid,mushrooms,booze and weed addictions all those i have over come,but gambling has by far been the worse hurdle yet,i have been couselling throughout this year and ive been ok at somepoints and not gambled for a whole month then ive slipped up and gone back to zero,if anything i'm here because all these people are/have been in the same race trying to jump the same hurdle, if i can kick other addictions why is this one the worse one yet! i am setting this target to get through the rest of this year with no bet no lottery ticket no scratch card and no slot machine.Then hopefully with all your support aswell i can get through next year and the year after. So, over those 12 years i have been married for 4 beautiful years but now as i sit here on my own my wife couldn't take it anymore as many times in the past you can only say sorry it slowly burns out and as she put it the more i lie about it and hide it the hurt will only fade to eventually feel nothing anymore. The fade happened and as far as i know now it's over for good i am truely devistated that i let this consume me when ishould of been focused on our marriage rather than trying to win money instead of lose it all the time. But i have to stop this for me now not for anyone else i need to re-ignite my life and im putting this out there as you all have.
so i wish you guys all the best for the rest of the year comment next sunday x
