This is where my journey begins

I am a compulsive gambler took me a long time to say those words and finally admit I have a problem. 

I have become someone I don’t even recognise hurting those closest to me which for me is finally what got me here today. 

This will be my hardest journey to overcome in my life but I hope with this diary and the support of this fantastic site and my loving family I can and will do this taking it one day at a time.
So with Gamstop  and  Gamban on  alL my devices today this journey begins, and I hope to update this diary as I set upon it .

All the best Holly.  I said the same words just a couple of weeks before you.  Feeling better already, especially as things are getting sorted out in my mind about what happened.  It will get better bit by bit!
