Great post !
There is no such thing as controlled gambling I guess when we are desperate enough to need this site .
I posted last year about some research which said some people could return to controlled gambling, and I thought about it but alas I am not one of this people.
I had a small relapse – one which I was able to get into check quite quickly but it seems to have really cemented in my brain that I cannot ever gamble just a little .

I guess if we could do controlled gambling we would never have found ourselves messed up enough to need this site .

I agree that being here is really helpful and the encouragement we receive from others helps too.
We know when we have messed up and to be able to come here and have people encourage me to forgive myself is invaluable.

I guess shopaholism is another addiction – whoever Said “everything in moderation” has the right idea .

Well done on making the right choices!
