Good Day All,
My name is Craig and I am without a doubt a gambling addict. I’ve been gambling on sports, in specific, for nearly 13 years. With the last 9 years being out of control. I have been here before and quit for nearly 6 months until I decided to place that one winning bet. Like all addicts, it’s not that I never win, it’s I never know when to stop, because gambling has complete control of my life. Moving forward, I will take this addiction one day at a time. I will put God first, then my family. That hasn’t been the case for the last several years of my life, it’s been gambling then everything else. I no longer want to live my life under those terms. I will be checking in often on this app, to extend a hand to others but also to hold myself accountable. I know quitting can be done, it’s not easy, but it’s something that must be done.
Thanks for reading and I hope to build positive relationships with all of you as we battle this addiction together, one day at a time.Have a great day,
Craig
