Your not shocked when you see your bank balance
You can start to engage with the world again
You can start to socialize again, cos you have more than 3p to your name
You don't have to comfort yourself with other escapist behaviours after a gambling binge
Thoughts of self-harm will go away
You don't have to avoid speaking to family because of shame or guilt
You become more focused at work and not so stressed
you don't have to spend long periods of time just sitting with your head in your hands in disbelief at what you've just done... again!
You don't have to spend time thinking of increasing odd excuses as to why your not attended this or attending that
Your thoughts stop running at a million miles an hour
You start to calm down and plan for the future
You suddenly realise that you do have enough money. Once you stop wasting it, you discover there is enough.
No looking over your shoulder when the mail arrives
You don't have to live on borrowed money
Feeling free and no longer stuck like I'm in Groundhog Day.
