Gambling is no different from other addictions.I didn't know the extent of the damage that excessive gambling has caused especially in my society.Im officially 37 days free and as each day passes,I am gaining the confidence that I had lost.Gambling almost took away what was important to me.I cannot help but think of how many people are actually going through what I went through without getting help quickly.I will not stop improving myself and educate others going through the same about the dangers of Excessive Gambling!!!!!!

Gambling can either kill you or change you for the better through the pain.If you lose and dont learn,it will happen again and it will leave you even in a worse off position.Instead of looking for a solution on how i can mitigate the effects of gambling,i identified the root cause and to my suprise it had little to do with me needing money because all the time i had it i never used it for anything sensible.I ended up losing the same money because it felt good having that kind of money in my bank account.If it doent hurt you it wont teach you.Dont be so much in a hurry to forget what happened but be quick enough to realize what is causing you to relapse every time you bet.Im 44 days free and the strength is overwhelmingly huge.

I am ecstatic about reaching 70 days gamble free. I have personally exceeded my goal and it feels surreal. I am in a healthy financial position and I am paying my debts consistently. Trust me I have my moments where I feel scared and frustrated if I think about the past. I am not stopping and the gambling giant which seemed to be enormous is inflatable and I have been pricking it with a needle. I am free and my mind is at peace. Lets make it a 100 days now!!!!!

I relapsed last night. Spent my paycheck on online casinos. I feel terrible and sad. Made real progress over the past 4 months and I thought I was clear of this issue. April hasn't been quiet kind. Starting all over again.

Part of the journey mate, you will get there, a massive step taken knowing you've got a problem, many more gamble free days this year than gambling days. Four on the positives, hoping your doing well.
