Hi Jaykay
Well done on your achievement and the progress you have made in life . I too remember that feeling of dread – imagine us working all week and then being unable to pay for a burger !
I have been gamble free for a much shorter while but I know I am far from cured -I still get urges; triggered mostly now by advertising on tv, and I know the only real thing between me and my next bet is my barriers.
I think. The fact that life becomes so much more fulfilling and happier really helps us to stay stopped – it is the best feeling to know that there is a little money behind me .
Please keep reminding us all of how well you are doing.
