This is where my journey begins
I am a compulsive gambler took me a long time to say those words and finally admit I have a problem.
I have become someone I don’t even recognise hurting those closest to me which for me is finally what got me here today.
This will be my hardest journey to overcome in my life but I hope with this diary and the support of this fantastic site and my loving family I can and will do this taking it one day at a time.
So with Gamstop and Gamban on alL my devices today this journey begins, and I hope to update this diary as I set upon it .
Respect your courage and honesty Holly.
It is indeed a pleasure to welcome you to the recovery diaries. A place of understanding, compassion and hope. An oasis of calm for compulsive gamblers in recovery to record their journeys.
Wishing you every success on this great adventure to rediscover yourself.
Aum Aum Aum
