Struuggling

No, but it will get easier, I promise! 

Hi

Thank you for your sharing.

Having blocks in place is very healpful yet it jut sets you free from escaping in one way.

For me it was important to understand what my emotional triggers were.

Today I am willing to over come procrastination and justifications.

My emotional triggers were my pains not healed.

My emotional triggers were my fears not faced.

My emotional triggers were my frustrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations.

By me having unreasonable expectations of people life and situations I was effect causing myself pains time and time again.

My emotional triggers were my feelings of loneliness due to my fears of emotional intimacy.

My emotional triggers were my feelings of being bored and knowing that procrastination is very unhealthy for me. I can be honest today with out being cruel or adversely affecting other people.

I can embrace change towards healthy habits today.

My unhealthy reactions to people life and situations indicated that my hurt inner child was not healed.

My unhealthy reactions in anger, resentments, impatience intolerance, jealous, envy, rage, lack of trust, guilt shame regret remorse penance person pleasing vengeance mistrust with low self worth, low self esteem indicate that I am not fully healthy and am not at serenity with myself today.

Reading your post was very good to hear that you are gamble free since December 23, that,s great. There may always be triggers and moments where you feel tempted to gamble.

I think from experience its about recognising your vulnerable moments. whether that is paydays, birthdays , Christmas. You have the stops in place so important to really know your own personal triggers. 

Once you know them try to replace those moments with other activities to help them pass. Speak to someone you trust or call Gamcare anytime of day or night. Being Listened to with a non judgemental ear is so helpful as well as chatroom to speak to others that know how you feel.

You have done really well, so keep talking and reaching out. You are certainly not alone.
