Back to day zero. God I hope this time I quit forever
Today is May 18, 2023 and on this day I am not gambling.
To other gambling addicts even if you win today, it's just a loan from bookies to be paid with a very huge interest. It's not worth it.
The only sure way to win $100 is to keep your $100 in your pocket. Don't try to multiply it.
All the best mate ??

Hi
Once I was going to meetings I got to understand more about my addiction and obsessions.
I got learn and understand what my emotional triggers were.
My emotional triggers were my pains I could not heal.
My emotional triggers were my fears I could not face and reduce.
My emotional triggers were my unreasonable expectations I could not reduce.
My emotional triggers were my loneliness I could not reduce.
My emotional triggers were my feelings of boredom because I did not feel productive in my actions.
Sharing with like minded people in the recovery I got to see and hear my self in other people therapies.
In time I got the message that I did not want or need to gamble any more, just for today.
I do understand each time I gambled I made things much worse for my self.
