Hey Cornish Lass! I do know for some, talking about not gambling causes gambling urges! Which must make particpating in a forum difficult. Is that the case with you or are you feeling very down in the dumps, agitated, angry, weepy etc etc all at once? It’s awful just getting through this stage but you can do it. In the beginning you may have to just keep coming up with things to do to put off the gambling. Oh I have to fold a load of laundry. Or have a bubble bath and self spa night. Write a poem. These feelings do eventually ease but it takes time. Our brains are so hypersensitive and tuned into gambling that it can seem like that’s all they want. It will pass.
We never asked to be addicted. We can recover. Hugssss Lass.
