It’s been a long time coming, but the day has finally arrived.Â
Gambling has destroyed everything about me to the point I can’t remember the old me. I turn to gambling to block out life’s problems hoping I got lucky and had a big win. It never happened. Even if I did win it was all gone the next day. I knew I would lose yet i still continued to gamble- the urges took a hold of every emotion in my body and tormented my brain and soul.Â
Life savings gone, self respect gone, a peaceful mind gone. I have lost so much to this evil disease, we all have, but today I have chosen to accept what I have lost and slowly get my life back.Â
Today is a painful day but tomorrow is day 1 for me. I plan on updating this post daily/weekly to remind myself of the torture I have endured and keep myself accountable.Â
I know this new journey will be hard at times but it’s the peace of mind we all desperately want and deserve.Â
