So good when we can see a light and know there is a way out of the tunnel 🙂
Gambling was an escape for me, a release, a way to handle the pressure of my life and my personal situation. I’m a very strong person but everyone needs support.
I just remembered a link that I had found helpful when I was in early days of recovery. Worth reading again myself. More and more they are finding out that our brain behaves the same as someone with a drug addiction. These apply to us as well.

Stay strong, you can do this!
