Fella just worry about what's bad for your own health, you have dusted yourself down and have five days were you have gifted yourself somehting to behold.
To arrest the thing that will emotionally tear you apart, take all you have to give and more takes huge courage.
I hope you have accepted your losses, they are in the past, today look forward.
We both know you have something bigger than a punt to look forward to.
Be proud and enjoy the simple fact that you 'The Bear'
Made a choice.

If anyone can answer this question would be much appreciated does gambling make you ill ?? As in mentally depression etc it seems to have that effect on me badly while I'm gambling I seem to be ok but as soon as evening comes I feel awful again I'm now 6 days free and things are feeling slightly better just interested what other people go through??
Any comments appreciated

I think so I don't remember suffering depression and anxiety when I was younger. But I definitely do now. Not easy to accept for an ordinary easy going chap who wanted a simple life:)
Yep more so in later life michael gambling just makes it worse very similar to alcohol and drugs come to that just short term relief.

fella I can feel the energy in your posts, no self loathing, no trying to justify your gambling, just a good honest want to continue recovering.
my friend keep making the right choice.
As a dear friend of mine often says and don't reward yourself with a punt!!!
