I think it sounds like a recipe for disaster. A recovering alcoholic wouldn't look for a job as a barkeeper and expect not to relapse. This is no different. If you can't think of any interests you have besides the gaming industry, that is probably a sign that your recovery has a long way to go.Good luck, keep listening to your sponsor!

Stay out of temptation,leave the sinful practice and work of gambling,something else will pop up for you for employment.

Hey, I am a gambler myself and have the scars as well

The only way I control it is to stay away. The comment about temptation is right. It's not easy to change professions at your age but there are plenty of opportunities now, online. If you would like to contact me I could give you a hand.
