I didn’t realize how sad gambling was making me until I quit. I thought there was a certain thrill anticipating moving up in the ranks, but I was constantly met with crushing disappointment that was leaving me feeling hollow and anxious inside. Even though my financial situation hasn’t dramatically improved, and evn though this year has been so difficult for everyone, over the past three weeks since I quit I’ve caught myself smiling and laughing more; I feel more like myself than I have in a long time. It’s a good feeling.
