im kind of surprised that you can continue to play poker, or play slots and consider yourself not gambling. Sounds like you are doing self imposed controlled gambling..one that rarely suceeds permanantly if you are a CG. Im not trying to be harsh, but ive been in therapy since May and off online since the US thing..and one thing I know is, if your going to quit..you have to quit betting for money..period, to stay truely free and change your life for the better. I know there are varying degrees of gambing, social, frequent, problem gambler, compulsive, professional. I am a problem gambler,..I cant take even one bet..all hell breaks loose mentally then and the struggle starts all over. Abstinence is the only way to achieve mental peace and financial security if you are a problem gambler or a CG, much like a diabetic needs insulin to stay healthy, a Cg must needs abstience (his medicine) to stay healthy. So, dont be so hard on the forum members that announce they are quitting. They may be controlled gamblers like you, or social, or are CG's taking their first step towards asking for help. All deserve your support and well wishes!

I fogot to add, congratulations on taking control of your life, it sounds like you are working towards rebuilding it and THAT deserves support and well wish too! cudo's to you!
