ok here is my latest situation I have had my last session with my therapist and I am convinced that long term I can do this gamble free lifestyle with some help. The past few days have been difficult because I have had access to some money, however apart from a few small wagers I have not felt that I have lost control this time around Normally I would have gone the whole hog and been broke by now but I have been pretty positive and just fed my addiction with a few low bets I am not kidding myself yet that I have this under control and would rather have not gambled at all but one step at a time is it not I have a deep admiration for anyone that can stop completely and hopefully I can achieve that very soon but until that point I shall keep myself in check and report on this forum with complete honesty something I have not managed for most of my life
