So there it is , my life is changing since the day I quit gambling , got several goals accomplished ,new projects coming .I do feel proud of myself ,with a huge help of my family I did it.I know its an early stage of healing , its like avoiding to hear your own brain and recognise the signs that will get you in troubles ,sometimes doing well its not enough ,you need that the stars are on your side.
And on my way to 11 months without gambling,feeling strong and capable of achieving other targets,not always easy.
Hi Ruivo,
Great work knocking it on the head for an extended period, all the damage that gambling addicition does makes a big difference doesn't it. Confidence, positivity all recover as well as the more obvious improvement in finances.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks half life and leedso , its a year gone and my wishes are that 2015 starts a new chapter in my family life,its not been easy , i got a job that makes me stress all the time , the expenses are out of this world , still got small bits of anger from my wife that i tend to defend myself when i know that she is right and i need to keep calm and stay in focus. The urges still coming , keep doing the same routines,not having money with me , all the accounts on her,no chance to be imprisioned with this malefecient disease,but an not see the light yet,cause the urges are still there,no day off with them!well i would love to tame the beast , but i do not have the confidence yet for that...thanks guys and i will be back to write soon as possible!
