Hi Malcolm, thanks for your post on my thread. I took a magnesium supplement last night for my stress and anger and I did an online meditation which was just ok ..
Yes I love gambling . Now that we have said it I am going through the list of things I enjoy doing and nothing comes else comes close., but I do also compulsively eat .
But I wonder why did it cross over into addiction, where we couldn’t stop despite the problems it caused for us
I think its all about brain chemistry. I have been reading up on anxiety etc and there is some evidence that magnesium supplements can help with anxiety and also alcohol and cocaine addiction.
I haven’t come across anything to say that it could help with gambling but maybe no one has researched it.

So I’m trying magnesium citrate for a month.
You can also absorb it in Epsom salts baths . It relaxes you so I thought it might help when urges melt the our heads .
Would you try it Malcolm and see if it helps you..
There is something out there which will help us … I am going to try everything.
