Hey Cindy, welcome to the forum. I’m afraid your thread is in the overcoming problems section and usually journals are in th my journal forum. It’s not wrong it’s just i think you got over looked! You are very young to be dealing with this but at least you are also facing it young. There is a lot of wisdom and self awareness in your post which gives me a lot of hope that you will be able to overcome this and have a good and meaningful life. I’m afraid I am heading out shortly or I would write more. Perhaps you can ask the help line to move your thread for you in the morning. They may also have some suggestions for you as to how else to prevent yourself from gambling. Counseling would help a lot as it helps you to build up your strength to resist and gives you tools you can use. Take care, Laura
