Hi

I agree with the comment above , but i do count the days as i have relapsed before and now on 150 days but i aint going back 150 days is great and i never want to do day 1 again , i get stubborn to gambling and wont go back.

Hi

The gambling was a form of escape for me.

I feared in so many ways.

Once we abstain from our unhealthy habits we then exchange unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.

Before I did not vaue time money or my self. 

Once we abstain from our unhealthy habits we then start being more productive with our time.

While in action it was either beinf at work or being consumed by my unhealthy addictions and obsessions.

In my recovery I started to write down my needs my wants and my goals.

For me resisting gambling was not wanting to self abuse my self or other people.

The recovery program helps us ask our self how productive was I with my time today.

How can I improve becoming more self sufficient.

How can I reduce from my procratination.

Clean time can not be lost we have lived it that way.

Becoming a self destructive addict is sole destroying.

It is also a complete waste of time and energy.

Had I lost confidence.

Did I live in fear and anxiety.

Was I willing to give up all faith and hope in my self.

By stop gambling and astaining only then can we heal our pains reduce our fears and much healthier people.

By becoming fully dedicated to working my recovery I and my family became teh beneficeries of my efforts. 

Once we get cean time if we go back to recovery after a slip we can gain of lost ground very quickly.

It is important to not beat our self up.

It is important to not call our self cruel heartless names.

Once we learn to heal our pains we become much healthier nurturing people towards our self and other people.

Beginning of my recovery is JUST FOR TODAY I will not gamble.
