Popping in to see how everyone is. 3340 days gamble free but feel drawn to post.

Recent family events have made me feel vulnerable and low so posting for my own mental health.

Gambling robbed me of so much and I am always aware of my potential addictions - gambling and alcohol being my main 2.

Today i havent gambled and I will take that

68 days gamble free myself and your post just inspired me. I read peoples posts on here each day to keep me going and to see that huge number has just focused my mind even more. Congrats on doing so well and for realising that you can pop in here anytime you feel vulnerable. The fight never ends, but you've shown it can be tamed.

Stay strong 💪

Weirdfish,

Your reply makes me feel humbled and if I can help anyone in this journey i will try my best.

68 days is a fine achievement and tomorrow is a new day.

New day. New thoughts. New challenges.

Hoping by the end of tomorrow 69 days has been registered.

We wake up each day with a new challenge.

We are not bad people however our addictions need to be addressed.

Best

@bal that is incredible.  Cheers for sharing your progress here.  

I am only 40 days GF but hope to be able to say the same as you in 3300 days time.

Well done for having the humility and strength of character to come back and post after all of this time GF.

Best wishes J

Hi

By gambling I simply made things much worse and caused my self lots of pain.

Each day it was about just for today I will not gamble.

No matter how much I get tested I will not gamble.

The recovery program helped understand how unhealthy I use to be.

I can heal my pains today.

I can less alone today.

I can face and reduce my fears.

I can live a much more productive day.

Gambling never hurt me I hurt my self.

Healing love and peace to every one.

Evening,

Reflecting on last 6 months. New grand child coupled with the death of my father late October.

My father was a selfish man and i would like to have known why he made my childhood difficult. Too many beatings which were uncalled for and getting blamed for things going wrong.

Chapter closed and move on.

Best
