I will always be a problem gambler - when I gamble.
If I don't gamble then there isn't a problem.
I understand where you are coming from, is this you're first time in recovery? This is a dangerous thought pattern, and can very much lead you back to gambling.
I am a compulsive gambler. I've not placed a bet for 993 days, but I'm still a compulsive gambler. If I think that there is no problem, then I stop working at recovery, then it's only a matter of time before I go back to gambling. This is not just my experience, I've witnessed it many times with others too.
I realised how it looked after I posted it. However, I was trying to be philosophical at the time!
This is my first serious crack at stopping, as all the other times I think I was kidding myself.
I never want rock bottom again. I want my family, and I want myself back. These are my motivators!
