Cheers Tango74 for the response. I’ve actually been “injured” for the past 12 months or so from a footballing incident. I think it’s contributed as I’ve had no outlet. I don’t think it’s any co-incidence that i’ve started to become more active again, my mindset has shifted. With this said, there’s always that fear that something could spark that desire to gamble again. 

Yesterday was a horrible day – the worst I’ve had since my last bet, almost 3 weeks ago. Coming clean to my wife, who is also struggling with the news, has been difficult but she is starting to see just how much of an effect it’s having on me. But you’re right, being active is definitely a good way to fill that void that gambling has left in me.
