I love your words.
They are so true. The slips ive had in my 9 years since I made the decision to take back control of my life were always when my self exclusion had lapsed. I knew exactly what I was doing each time. And each time I felt physically ill, guilt ridden and paranoid.
The decision is easy for me. Keep up my exclusion and temptation is taken away. Abstinence is not the key though, and as you have stated this is a psychological addiction that needs therapy of all kinds to help us live as ‘normal’ people.
The sun shines for me Johnny, even in my darkest day I can say I will not gamble. It has been a long road, and a road I will always travel, but with support I know that I will not stray from the path.
Thank you for posting this, it was a great read.
