Hi James14.
I would personally advise to knock those bets on the head aswell. For someone who may be a compulsive gambler, you would be taking a huge risk for your future by kidding yourself you can gamble "normally".
I don't remember ever being able to gamble normally.
I haven't posted on here before, but your story prompted me to do so. I completely RUINED my degree through my gambling habit, i am now 26, and am about to start a very demanding accountancy course, which all being well, i will finish when i'm 29. Still young enough to earn a living, and finally fulfil my potential, fingers crossed.
If i could go back in time to when i was 20, and had the ability to be as honest with myself then as you clearly have been, think of where i could be in my career now?
Don't make the mistakes i did. Gambling will rid you of all ambition, and numb you of all feeling if you do.
I'm 9 months clean thanks to this wonderful fellowship, and am well on the way to happiness and fulfillment.
Good luck, friend.
Ralph
