Thanks for taking the time to respond and as you noted, we have some strong similarities in our problem gambling/addictions.

So far, I have not had any real urges. The key for me is making positive friends and staying busy. So far, so good. I know that my test will come at some point down the road.

Thanks again for the thoughtful post and I can’t argue against anything that you have shared–all excellent and helpful points!
