Hi Fish. Nice to check in and see you still stacking up the days.
Also good to see your story is helping others.
Keep at it my friend. J
Hey bean, good to see you around again. Been super busy with work at the moment so not been on as much.Â
Emily - I’m glad you found it useful. I genuinely read every diary in my first few weeks. You can take so much from them. I still read every new post. Makes me angry to see new people struggling which helps me too. Also great to see people get through those first few days and weeks and to start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Day 300 - I never ever thought I could get to 300. Gambling was my life. If I couldn’t gamble (due to losing obviously), I’d watch gambling videos. I’d gamble at work, walking the dog, in the car park before work. All day, every day. What did I do it for? I knew I couldn’t win. I knew if I did, it would be a short lived success. It was for the buzz. A buzz that came with huge consequences. The addiction to the buzz fogged everything else out. Chasing the buzz cost me everything. But here I am, 300 days later, no buzz required. Life is simpler. I’m a happier person. I’m healthier. I have money. Why would I ever go back? I know the temptation is always there, but I only have to really look back to realise, it’s not worth it. I’m not going to risk what I have now for a buzz. I don’t need a gambling buzz anymore. Buying a full tank of petrol is now a buzz. Going out for food and offering to pay is a buzz. Sleeping at night is a buzz. I have a new buzz!
I realise I said buzz allot there 😂. It’s amazing to think though that 301 days ago I was so low I’d picked out a place to end it all. Now I get excited by shopping!! Life gets better. Much much better.
Stay strong 💪Â
