Hi Russell,
The hard thing for any compulsive gambler is admitting we have a problem.It seems that you have overcome that 1st hurdle....the next one is reading or listening to other gamblers stories and comparing yourself to there story.I'm not as bad as them....im not like them...can sometimes be the 1st reaction but ultimatly we all have a different tale.
I never stole,robbed or abused anybody but my life was destroyed by gambling and ive now abstained for 6 years this year thanks to Ga..i was made bankrupt over 5 years ago but in time i realised i had an emotinal illness and not a financial one.
I hope you get to a meeting soon my friend and just to let you know we have a certain friend in common in London.
Uif
