Thanks Mr & Mrs V But I can’t take all the credit as it was my now wife who helped me overcome it & most likely saved my life which I’ll be forever grateful for. When I told her I had a gambling addiction she was beyond amazing helping me in every way she could & In the first 6months I lied to her twice saying I would quit but deep down I knew I was going to continue to gamble behind her back. It was only the 3rd time when she told me she would leave me that it hit me. After 1-2weeks of not gambling I was the happiest I’d been in years & I realised I better put a ring on this incredible women & treat her with the love & respect she deserve & nearly 6years on & we are happily married with 2 beautiful children, again I owe my life to her as in my darkest days she was the only thing that saved me. Gambling is a huge problem in today’s society & I can only see addiction numbers growing as we are smothered with betting adds whenever we turn on the TV & so many people nowadays can’t watch a sporting event without putting a bet on. I remember betting companies calling me non stop for years trying to get me back which I find very disappointing but I truly believe now that all of the above was meant to happen as it has made me appreciate life so much more & has made me mentally stronger which is crucial if you want to become a successful trader.
