I tried to get rid of it for 1 month and I really felt the change. At first things were very difficult, I had to fight spiritually, trying to keep myself from thinking about it. What I need to do is keep myself busy, help some others like me recover. I gradually felt better when I didn't gamble. Now, I have completely got rid of it and feel full of hope in life again.
One word of caution, you are never ever rid of it.
and I doubt after one month
Â
please keep fighting every day, you will need to, I’m proof of that.good luck
A month is amazing. Well done you and keep on going ??.
I am only on day 23 so I am no expert but one thing I feel deep down is that I can never say I’m cured or rid of my addiction. I feel I am going to have to treat the one day at a time rule as a mantra for the rest of my life.Â
I have read a few times people over years start to play the lottery or buy some scratch cards once they feel their addiction is under control, and I know this is a divided topic here. But I know personally that I will never be able to do that.Â
Keep your one day at a time rule and rejoice in every day you don’t gamble. You are doing so well I admire you very very much and hope I can reach the one month mark after payday and join you.Â
