I am starting this thread as I have been "G" free for almost three weeks now and I am forgetting why I do not "G" and this is making it easier to return in one way or another....
If I return it does not affect my finances too badly, it effects my Mental Well Being more than anything else...
I am not looking to solve these issues only to avoid aggravating them...
I have reached a point where I am viewing my "G" as being in a refreshed state, whereas I have only forgotten the actual emotional turmoil it causes in my daily life....
I know because I am told by family and reading on here that gambling should not figure in my lifestyle ....
Writing down my thoughts all be it briefly on this website has helped me to offload my issues and to see more clearly the path I should stay on is the path to freedom that I am experiencing now and not what could be ... It's a MYTH...
Keeping my head screwed on

When I did "G" I would be
- in a bad mood
- over tired
- not available for fun and social activities
- tending to sudden and unreasonable anger
I don't want that to be who I am.
A few thousand pounds down the toilet - - who cares, in comparison to losing:
The person that I choose to be, with the emotions, activities, and friends I like. Losing this is unacceptable.
Is this something like your experience?
Affected by gambling?
