Hi James, Admitting to your parents was a good start but in all honesty this is a serious illness and I could never have tackled it on my own. Over the years I tried various things and did sometimes have weeks and months of abstinence from gambling but would eventually go back thinking I could control 'it'. I was only young when I also started gambling and continued to gambled for 45 years of my life. A big chunk of my life is missing, broken friendships, marriages, homes lost, family members who no longer could understand me or my erratic behaviour. For me the only answer was GA and I have stuck with it for the last 10 years. I try to meet 'life' today on 'lifes terms' without having to escape with gambling. I hope for your sake that you have nipped this in the 'bud' early, but if you ever need GA - it will be there waiting for you with people who understand exactly what you have been through.
You take care James!
A friend in the GA fellowship
Helen
