Welcome to GT , Phoenix!
The weekends are quiet here so expect more responses on Monday!
I was amazed at your story! You sure have some bitter-sweet memories associated with gambling, and as you point out in your second post, when we become indisciplined in one area of our lives, it has on a knock on effect to every other area.
Gambling makes us selfish, deceitful, preoccupied with our own needs, sluggish regarding diet and exercise. Our daily routines become chaotic and it is not unusual for a CG to resort to comfort eating and self medicating. We can spend our lives escaping and looking for new “crutches” or, like you are doing, we can start again. Its not easy, but it is possible to begin a new life.
Just one thing struck me from your posts. You seem to be taking on a lot all in one go! Would you ever consider going into rehab, e g Gordan House?
You are still a young man Phoenix and I applaud you for posting your story here. You have my support and admiration!
ONE DAY AT A TIME IS THE ONLY WAY!
Keep posting!
