Forget about gamban

 

Switch the devices off Sit down and ask yourself why you want to gamble ? 

 

Why do you want to bring chaos into your life ?

 

Why do you want to bring stress into your life ?

 

Write it all down then read it back to yourself

Hi

By me going to meetings I found a much healthier life.

The addictions and osessions was a form of self abuse and escape.

The gambling addiction was in effect me working hard for days months weeks for nothing.

Money was not going to heal my pains.

Money was not going to reduce my fears.

Money was just the fuel for my addictions.

Walking in to the recovery program I was going to see and feel my self in other people.

I would start to understand my emotional triggers.

No matter when my last bet was I kept going to meetings.

Often I did nto want to tell people how many timess I went back to the self abuse of gambling.

In time days turned in to weeks off gambling.

In time weeks turned in to months off gambling.

In time moths turned in to years off gambling.

Each time I went back to gambling I learned what my last emotional trigger was.

Today I tend to ineract with people life and situations.

Less often reacting in unhealthy ways.

In time I got to learn how to love my self.

In time I got to learn how to respect my self.

In time I got to learn how to learn to live one day a time.

Just for today only I do not want or need to gamble.

Love and peace to every one.
