    Hi everyone, this is my first time on this site, I just found it. A lot of good stuff on here, I have been gambling 20 years and it has come down to the fact that I need to Self exclude…I cannot stop even with meetings and counseling. I am terrified at the thought of self excluding because once I do that its not even available to me anymore and then I have to go out and face the world and not have my trusty old crutch there to run to to escape feeling feelings….anyone can give me some hope…It feels like divorce…divorcing my partner, it is so very final…just scares the hell out of me…I’ll be back….. -Andrew

    • Andrew, self exclusion is something that has worked for me. It is true that cut off is scary but for me it was a relief. I will be adding GA meetings and counselling for recovery.
      I have found I that by filling my daily calendar with things to do after work. I keeps my mind focused on other things.
      I look forward to upcoming counselling.
      Thanks for sharing and praying for your strength.
