I have been gamble free around 47 days at the time I gambled I was distressed at the amount of time and money I lost.
However 47 days later I'm struggling emotionally more than ever as i use to gamble when stressed. I'm receiving counselling and medications but still just feel so down ..how do you cope when feeling so low ?

hang in there lou. you can do it. let's fight this together. we can do this. think of how happy you'll make those whom you borrowed from when you repay them and not feed some fatcat casino owner.Â

Hi loulouÂ
Stace86 is right you need something else to relieve your stress...the healthier the better.
Gambling is not a stress release. From the large amounts i've bet it only adds to the stress and worry.Â
I have recently commited to the gym and stopped smoking and am feeling better with each passing day.Â
The thoughts of gambling and the stress it has caused me will remain but you will learn from it and it will make you stronger.
Good luck and keep fighting.
