Hi All, After 10 years of problem gambling I made the decision I need to face this head on. Tonight will be my first counselling session and the first time I've ever admitted I have an addiction with anyone face to face. I'm terrified, of what I don't know. I know this can only help but that small part of me is afraid of breaking the cycle I've been in for years. The benefits will be dramatic in the long run but the devil on my shoulder is consuming my thoughts. I've read what to expect but I have no excuses for why I gamble, I know it's not logical and I'm lucky I have lots of friends and a good job. How can I begin to explain why I do it? I only have myself to blame for my actions and even now all I want to do is gamble, I'm a walking contradiction to my own thoughts! Sorry for the ramble, the start of my recovery begins NOW! I wish you all the best on your journey x
