Hi everyone,most of you must of read my stories in the past as I come here quiet often.Hope everyone is in a safe place and continue doing good work that you do.Its not easy,nobody ever said it'll be a piece of cake not gambling but each day we do not do so,our mind our brain gets that recovery to heal.
I understand most of us are lonely,or suffering from some sort of mental health there's nothing to be afraid of,nobody's perfect nor me not you,accept yourself for who you are and stop escaping reality by gambling because you can't face consequences of daily life that brings you.
One of the things I learnt in recovery it doesn't matter how much we win it'll be never enough until we lose it all.
Once you have nothing left then you won.Thats the strategy of gambling system.
If you want to win real money don't gamble and check your bank account,wallet each day.Thats your winnings.
All the best to everyone keep on with your journeys

I am just unpacking the emotional damage that the gambling was masking.
Unresolved inner conflicts. Negative feelings ect... Gambling switched it all off. But in return I never faced the issues and was rewarded with the punishment of a crippling addiction that drained all enjoyment and peace from my life.
I have had to face certain realities recently that the gambling hid. It feels good though. I am working it all out.
Take care and keep us updated with your own progress.
