Hi everyone, I haven’t posted in a while and just wanted to say I am doing ok and well and have a new addiction which is DIY. I now understand what normal people without gambling addictions spend their money on. Yes it’s expensive but it’s worth the kiss I get from my partner after completing a job she wants doing.

i am keeping it short and simple for everyone, keep fighting away from this addiction of gambling 

 

take care especially with the temptations around festive period.

Love it mate. I do think replacing an addiction with another healthier addiction is a great way of moving on, bonus that you keep the good lady happy!

Its so good to hear people finding happiness in the mundane things that Bob gamblers do. DIY, cooking, reading, etc. All the things that we should have been enjoying rather than spending hours losing money for no reason.

Congrats on 78 days. There are several theories that it takes about 80-90 days to reprogram an addicts brain. All theories, but I like to think it’s true. You are at that bracket now so keep it going and if the theories are true, life gets easier from now on. Great job!

Stay strong 💪
