Hi Charles thanks for the post, I believe i have turned the corner and have found another street, the street of life . The last 2 weeks have been hard and soul searching , the 2 books i have read have opened my eyes and made me think about alcohol and gambling in a totally different light. They have no place in my life anymore. Self excluding , giving someone control of my finances , limiting my money are not options if someone wants to gamble they will find a way ( i have done them all in the past ) . I’m actually looking forward to payday and budgeting for the 4 and a half weeks until the next one. Physically and mentally i have never felt better. I have ambitions and targets in my life now , first time for years . I will be posting on G.T. as i have been everyday with how i am getting on. Micky
