Congratulations Cameron on your excellent progress. You seem very positive and have a good attitude.
I think one of the hardest things for a compulsive gambler, in recovery, to accept, is that the lost money has gone forever. Its as if part of us hangs on to the crazy hope that one day we will get it back. It is indeed a bitter pill to swallow, but swallow it we must if we are to bury the gambling in the past and start living a meaningful life again.
I wish you well as you continue on your gamble free adventure ...stephen
