Checking in gamble free. The thought of going to a bookies or trying to set up an online account do not even cross my mind anymore. Have your safety checks in place and tell someone as hard as it is. Told yet another person about my struggles last week and although it was hard felt more of a weight off my shoulders.
Checking in for the week gf

Checking in for the week on day 566
Had a setback this week. 🙁
Found myself working away from home alone this week and through boredom decided to visit the casino. Really annoyed and angry at myself after recent events.
Back to day one today.
Hi
My emotional triggers were my pains not healed, my fears not faced, my frustrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations, my loneliness due to my fears of emotional intimacy, my feelings of boredom because I felt that life was boring, that I could succeed, that I avoided facing being accountable and I avoided facing challenges in my life.
My unhealthy reaction in my anger was due to my pains not healed, my fears not faced, my frustrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations, I use to think that being angry was healthy, not today being angry is not healthy in any way for me today.
My unhealthy reaction in my anger caused further aggression and confrontation, my anger caused people to fear me.
I want every one to be free of all fears towards me today.
I am no longer the victim, I am no longer the perpetrator, I am no longer the rescuer.
I am a non religious person and I understand that the recovery program was going to help me want to abstain from all unhealthy habits.
The more time I get productive the less likely I get bored.
The recovery program helped me learn how to exchange unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
Procrastination was one thing I needed to over come.
To become motivated and healthy ways.
Please keep going to meetings, you will benefit from it in so many ways.
Love and peace to every one.
