Hi Jack, You will be experiencing a lot of different emotions on the path of recovery. Irritability is a big one. GT is a great place to express your feelings. Keep on doing what you are doing!!! For myself, just admitting that I was a compulsive gambler was very hard. But you have already taken that first step. It has taken me awhile to figure out my triggers. It was easier for me to get control of my emotions once I was able to identify my triggers and work though the urges to gamble. Only my family and close friends know that I have a gambling problem. We never know from just looking at someone what is really going on in their live. We just see the outter layer of the person. Finding things to keep yourself occupied with when you are feeling urges has been very helpful to me. I find that if I can get through 15 mins of the urges, they subside and finally dissapte. It’s good to see you posting!
