Hi,
I am coming into 2023 as a gamble-free addict. I have not gambled for 60 days and those 60 days have been the best of my life. During 60 days I have lost my loved one, changed my life in so many ways for the better. It is true when they say that you have to hit the rock bottom before you can see things from new perspective.
I would like to wish myself to remain a gamble-free recovering addict for the rest of 2023. I would like to wish myself to continue the path of continous improvement and betterment of my life. I love life. I love myself. I love that small kid that is inside of me and I want him to know that even though I forget him for many years, abused him and have not talked with him, I now want him to be my friend. I want him to understand that I am not going to hurt him anymore.
I wont go back to my personal hell. I wont let gambling to define who I am. I take a full responsibility and control of my life and who I am.
I wish everyone a good next year battling this. Even in a most ferocious fight with your demons do not forget to grow that good little kid inside you. He misses you and he needs your attention. Love you everyone. Stay strong.
Beautiful post, thank you.
Happy New Year indeed to you.
