Hi Wolf!
I'm an alcoholic and compulsive gambler too (and general addict). Good to see you on here. I thought their was nobody else on here with the gambling problem. We can fight this together and morally support each other
I quit gambling about 8 years ago. I started again about 6 months ago. I was at the airport and I had a pocketful of coins which would have been no use to me when I got home, so I thought "I'll just play them in the machine". The illness returned and I was loosing about £200. I then won about £300 in all. The thing is I'm quite sure had I not have won I would have continued playing and missed my flight. I was the last onto the plane. It was that bad! Since then I havn't been able to stop playing
I think what we need to do is to completly change the places we hang out in. We can't go anywhere near the machines/tables/horses/bookies/whatever.
Send me a PM any time if you want. I'm on most days.
Take care.
