    Hi Steph, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you feel better and remain on track with being gamble-free. It would be a lot to have to deal with both the loss of a parent and the addiction coming back around. Give yourself time to heal. We all believe in you!

    Thanks Kin! Appreciate the support.

    I’m on day 287 now. Have been wanting to go to Vegas to visit Resorts World and the new hawker stall restaurants but the wife says we can go if I don’t gamble. It doesn’t seem like a smart idea to put myself in that situation and probably won’t happen.

    Welcome to the forum Dolly. Keeping a journal and reading other people’s stories have helped me tremendously. I hope it is a helpful tool for you too. Looking forward to reading your success story

    Day 242! For some reason, I thought a lot more time passed since my last journal and was hoping to be closer to the 1 year mark but still have another 123 days to go! Hope everyone is staying strong in their journey to being gamble-free!

    Catracho94, I’m glad you’ve made that decision. That’s the first step is choosing not to be a gambler or to gamble at all. It will change your life, trust me.

    I’m on day 217. The check-ins have become sparse but I have found other hobbies to take up my time like playing video games. Replacing one addiction with another but this one doesn’t cost a dime. ??

    Happy New Year to Everyone in the forums.

    I’m on Day 168 of being a non-gambler. I’ve taken up computer gaming as a hobby and it’s completely alleviated the need to watch sports or think about gambling. It’s good to keep checking in once in a while to count the days and see proof of my recovery.

    Hi ed, how come you were triggered after 5 months of not gambling? You seemed to be doing so well

    Hi Izzi, I hope your partner gives you another chance and things can work out. Wish you the best of luck in your recovery. Look forward to your future since you can’t do anything about the past and the mistakes you’ve made. All we can do is learn from them.

    At Day 130 today! Been a while since I’ve posted. Since the last time, I’ve completely lost interest in even watching sports. Thanksgiving would have been a day to watch and bet on football all day but I didn’t even turn the channel to football at all. Was busy cooking turkey ?? Hope everyone is doing great in their recovery

    On the 100 day milestone. That is huge! I know what you mean about thinking about past losses and the “what ifs” of had you not ever gambled. It can be hard to block those thoughts out but the future is so bright and there is so much to look forward to!?

    Hey bud, awesome progress so far. It looks like you have gone 3+ weeks without gambling and that is something to be proud of. Everyone on here is rooting for you and we know that this will not be attempt 3 but it is the beginning of your new life, gamble free. There will not be an attempt 4. Trust
