Iv been gambling since 2008 all the buzz excitement felt good then become a problem. In 2015 had a massive panic attack I thought I'm finished. Rushed to hospital but turned out wasn't heart attack only panic attack but very scary. I decided no more as I was scared panic attack happens again. I was clean till end of 2017. Started my own business had over 20 k in the bank. Became a father life was great again untill started gambling again. Lost my business my ex kicked me out but she never stopped me see my boy which I'm so grateful. Now I'm 2 weeks gam free and hoping for many weeks to comeÂ

I am grateful for sharing your experiences. Discussing your experience with gambling addiction is not easy but you have to gather some courage. You have enjoyed good times as well as you have had difficulties in this journey. I really appreciate your decision to refrain from gambling and the courage it takes to stay clean for two weeks.
