I used to be a compulsive gambler on fruit machines which aided to the break-up of my marriage and caused me to go bankrupt. I plucked up the courage to attend GA but was advised that the best course of action was to avoid any places with fruit machines. After a while I stopped attending GA and went solo.
I managed to curb my gambling habit over the years but recently my new wife got a well paid job running a club which has high-stakes fruit machines. I have recently started playing them again in moderation (nowhere as bad as I used to) although I know I shouldn't. I am worried that this could lead me down a slippery slope. I do not wish to end up how I used to be.
Is avoiding fruit machines altogether my only option as this is definately not possible in my circumstances?
