Yes – the time difference is difficult. There are facilitated groups in the early evening UK time on Mondays and Thursdays – but I guess that will be around noon in LA which is not easy if you are working. If you log onto one when it is 4am in the UK then you are really relying on people in your area to be there – none of those are facilitated.
It may be worth searching to see if there are chat forums on similar sites to this based in the US or Canada – or there maybe chat in some quit gambling facebook groups (if you do fb.) There is also Smart recovery – which is for all addictions – not just gambling but I know some on here have found that useful.
Good to hear that you are determined to beat this. I’m sure you can. Keep strong.
