I am searching for a new self. One which is not held prisoner by addiction, self loathing and depression. I have a wonderful family and a good job but I am plagued with the disease of addiction. My addiction of choice is gambling but I have suffered from drug addiction in the past. I am looking for the me that I know is hiding inside. I will find happiness, peace of mind and security. I will learn to trust myself again and I will learn that I am a good person despite my past.

I am a compulsive gambler that is finally willing to take the necessary steps to change my life and become whole again.
I have never been good with money. I spend compulsively and for the last 5 years I have gambled most of my earnings away. I have recently quit gambling and it is time to clean up my act. I don't even know where to begin.
