    Hello. Well my last bet was 3/!6/23 so hopefully I am on the right path. I am struggling with how angry I am with myself, embarrassed, and hurting. I’m hoping to hear how other people stop and rebuild a life. I’ve made a mess out of mine.

    • 14 days is a great start! I hope youre celebrating every day. Ive been a problem gambler for 20 years and im now 39. I think its ok to feel the emotions you are feeling. Ive felt similar to you. I think its important to sit and recognize those feelings. Just try your best to not let them dictate your day. I am only on day 2, but i truly feel that im ready to actually live. Something i feel i havent really done in 20 years. God bless. Sending you lots of love and support.
