Day 18 - what a change for me

Good Morning everyone,

Today I woke up like every other morning on my recovery - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!

I haven't felt better in a hell of a long time, I have been attending local GA meetings regularly and cannot speak more highly of these groups there are people who have been through it all at the meetings and came out the other end and haven't placed a bet in 10-20 years which is a huge accomplishment,

I myself in the last 18 days have found who I am again, I have became an honest person I no longer lie, I pray to God of my understanding daily, not only just morning time or night time but through out the day I thank him for keeping my addiction at bay and for not putting tempt into my mind,

yes I have had a few urges but this is normal and one thing that puts me right off the notion is reading a poem - I AM ADDICTION if anyone hasn't read it i really would recommend it, it works wonders in your head.

I am finally living which I havent done in years this is the longest Ive been away from gambling and after feeling the buzz of doing things which actually make myself feel good I no longer crave the buzz of that bet.

I'm not saying im cured or anything of the sort as I will always have this addiction but im taking it one day at a time and today I will not gamble

for- jennifer
