Day 19… Well I made it this far… Not going great and not going bad, but I am going gamble free… Work has got me tied up and busy. Trying to maintain focus is not easy, but I know what I have to do, I have to talk to people who can relate and make atleast 1 post per day, when I have the time to do so… Sofar this system works. I will not let they get into my head and suck my bank account and soul dry. I will stand tall and proud, and make peace with what was, and what I can manage today.
Hey Cruising…
I’m sorry to hear, they managed to get to you… But the good news is, you are only human… We all make mistakes…
With you being this honest takes so much gits and I respect you for that, you could have easily lied, but you didn’t…
I am again reaching out, and reminding you, you are not alone in all of this, when the urge gets to you, come and make a post, let’s talk… Talk about what you are thinking and feeling, before you make that bet… Come here and read your your post even if it’s just for 2 minutes, this will help reduce the urge to gamble and give you the courage not to make that bet…
You are not alone, and I wish that you beat this thoughts, and you can be gamble free…
Have a great day, and let’s strive for 10 000 gamble free days…
One day at a time!!
Hey Cruising, doing a check in here. Hope all is going good and well and that you are winning this addiction
Another great weekend has come and gone. Time spend with family!! Had a 60th an ld I was able to contribute financially!! That was a great feeling! Played some golf again with my dad and brother and my little girl came with, there is not much words to describe that joy! All these small moments is so much better than wasting your money and time making a casino richer and yourself more miserable!
Let’s go!! It’s been 2 weeks!! I am proud of me… Everyday, I am proud what I am achieving… Let’s try and stay positive and great full for family health!!
Day 13 – still keeping at it…
Need to do this for the rest of my life, and I love it…. If this is what needs to be done to not gamble again, this is what I shall do. I am great full for the people on here, a simple post, from them motivates you more than anybody can imagine, just to know you are not alone makes it better… A daily check in is what I shall do, to remind me, I am a compulsive gambler and I should not gamble. Let’s keep it clean today again. One day at a time.
Day 12 for me today. All my debt payments caught up, that I missed last month, when I went on a gambling spree, that made me decide, this was the last time. I still get thoughts about, what if I can make it work, and the short answer is, I can’t make it work. I don’t have the discipline to only trade 1 or 2 percent of my bank roll on a daily basis. My brain is not like the other people who can make it work for them, they are different from me, I need to accept that. My strong suits are somewhere else. Dark messaged my the other day, to really try and understand why I gamble like I do, and I am still on that journey to figure out why I am doing it.
Thank you kin, I love this message and it relates to me, as I also want to live in the moment and not waste the money I work so hard for.
Hi Maverick, thank you so much. It was lovely!!
Had a great day with my daughter and my wife out today, went to 3 garden centre’s and just soaked in the sun and the peace, seeing the joy on a 7 year old face is priceless, and spending time with the people you love, not enough money can buy that happiness. Had a great weekend and is prepared for a tough week at work, with month end reporting coming up.
We can all beat this, just need to take it one day at a time.
Seeing messages like this, makes my day!! Have a great day Cruising and I hope you can feel the true power you have, to make this journey work!
Well done to me and everyone else on making it through another gamble free day. If I had one wish, it would be that every single person on this planet, can break this curse and live a normal and relaxing life… But I do know that will never be the case, as cases increase. Best we can do is push ourself to the limit. Going to play some golf today, and having a family BBQ this afternoon. The depression feels better and I want to make it work. One day at a time. Having the support on this forum and supporting others, is giving me hope that we can break this curse. I need to keep this momentum and discipline going of making my post a day, and believe that I have the ability to make it through another day!
Dark!! That is genius!! That way the money won’t be available immediately!! Thank you so much for the tips! By the time you sell the gild, the need to gamble has passed, and you proved to yourself that you can go without it.
Cruising!!!! You did it! This is wonderfully news, it gave me a smile when I read that! I want to say, I am proud of you Cruising! You truelly want to kick this decease, and you are using making use of the tools available. You are not alone, and I will be here to help you through this, the same way you guys are here for me.
One day at a time!!
Day 8 – money in my bank account, all debt payments made. I will do this I will reach a 1000 plus days. One day at a time.
Thaks so much Dark, lovely to see you around again! I hope we can chat atleast once a week. I am going to read up on your suggestion right after I finished here on Gambling therapy.
This is what all this is about, making new friend on here, and standing with each other. We all experience the same thing, and there is experienced people in here that can help newbies like me. And will love to share with other newbies once I managed to get through this!
