Hi everyone I'm 26, and I've been gambling for 7 years, always on roulette. I'm really determined to beat this addiction. I've excluded myself from every bookmaker I've had an account with.. literally hundreds. I can do it this time!! No looking back, any advice welcome! I hate the lying, I hate the depression.. I just want to be the good mum and good person I know I am without this horrible addiction.
day 2!
Dear Angie,
go for it girl! Wishing you safe early days with your exclusions in place. You are right, underneath the addiction there is the best of you, every day free should bring you increased clarity and stability. If not, bear in mind there is counselling for any deeper issues that may be revealed by your abstinence. Here's to an inspiring journey and diary for you!
