Congrat mate. Happy to see how people manage to fight with the addiction and get better. Even its drugs, alcohol or gambling. Have a good and healtfy life Jo.

glad to hear everything is going well! I was in a similar situation, had a terrible gambling addiction, would spunk all my money down the bookies and online. Then I met a beautiful girl from Tennessee! Ended up moving over there, luckily enough the state is a gambling free state, so even if I wanted to go down the bookies or the casino I can’t. When I go back to England for a week or 2 I have a little dabble, but not being around it all the time has made me not need it! I just watch the bandits videos, that satisfies my “itch” ? keep up the no gambling dude!
