Day 13 I can not win beacause I can not stop , keep it simple keep the Barriers in placeÂ
Hi
The Barriers are there to help me help myself.
The Barriers are there to stop me causing myself and others further pains and suffering.
Once I am able to abstain then the work starts to exchange unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
As my actions and words become healthier I m able to get clarity and focus in my life.
By me being more productive I start to build up my confidence and fear reduces so I do not feel so susceptible.
For me as an addict going back to gambling undermines me and I start to self destruct myself.Â
The money was only the fuel to a destructive pattern of behaviour.Â
Please look after your self and do not give in when you are feeling emotionally vulnerable.
The time and effort you put in to your recovery is self rewarding over time.
Please stay connected to like minded people.
Love and peace to every one.

Hi

If you stick with the recovery program you can achieve so much more with your life.
