Hi Chris35
Thank you for sharing your thoughts/feelings on here today it sounds like you are now becoming more aware of why you gamble. This is a key part of recovery as you can gain a greater insight into your own individual triggers and implement things to help protect yourself for the future. It's a good idea to re-connect with past hobbies & to try new things to fill the extra spare time your gamble-free lifestyle will present you with.
