Hi Lorraine
Never lose your "hope".
This addiction which can never be cured, can be controlled. We, the CG have to exert that control. It becomes a battle of wills....I want to gamble...but I won't.
One of my fallow GA members expressed it very well...
" we will always be compulsive gamblers....the day we stop being compulsive gamblers is the day they lay us six foot under."
As long as we are aware of our addictive problem, and we do not have that "first bet",we can,
and do lead normal healthy lives.
Never give up!
Best wishes
Roy
