Im still at my early days of recovery however this time i have made the decision to work on myself for the last 10 years i have been on and off gambling i was binge gambling and then stopping for periods of time from 6 months to year and the longest been G/f was 3 years, those time i felt it was up to me when i started and stopped as few of the relapses i manged to quit for the last decade i manage to only lose my savings and i wasent lossing the money for next payday this gave me a false sense i could control my actions its only my last relapse i realised how bad my addiction had gotten, i got myself into a debt which could have been alot worse for me, i know to have a chance to improve my life i needed to make extreme messures from changing my diet to changing the route and even getting rid of a few people in my life, im feeling much happier then i have ever been through out my life i never put myself first it was always about other people some of the relapses i had was to buy something special for someone else which did happen most of the time but it would cost me dearly yet they had no idea how i was suffering, its a life long process and helps available i am no longer afraid what comes tomarrow make changes today and if we do fall back for what ever reason remember gamble free life is always going to be better pick yourself up and try again
