Thank you very much for your kind words Barrie & Helen.
Tonight will be my first GA meeting in the west midlands, as there is only one held per week but i've stayed strong since my stray last tuesday & i'm proud to say that i have not gambled since then.
I know i have the will power to over come this disease which has ruined my life for the past 2 years & still only being 22, i know that now is the right time to get my life back on track!
I'm so glad i can relate to someone like you Barrie, as it makes me see that there is light at the end of the tunnel & even though i've always thought that the only way out will be to end it all, i now see there is a glimmer of hope for me. Reading your & everyone else's stories makes me more determined day by day to make sure i do this for myself & everyone close to me. Then maybe one day, i will be the person posting just like you both explaining & telling the tale of my horrible path & how i've over come it!
But for now i'm going to take each day at a time!
My name is Glenn & i'm a compulsive gambler!
