Look man. Clearly we have a problem. You have a problem. I have a problem. It’s just what we do. Chase a high. In this situation you need to leave. Leave what you know. Leave the town. Leave the casinos and start a new life. People will say therapy this that but you just need to start a new life and not look back on the past. A lot won’t agree with this but this is what I’m about to do.

I literally had money for food and that’s it. I have house mortgage to pay for, bills, ect. Had literally no money for anything. I stopped counting days. Stopped thinking about it. Just thankful I’m here. I’m alive. And rest is going to be history. Just can’t be going back to that feeling. Feeling of broken mess. Broke. Sick to the stomach. Ect. That feeling gets played in my head the min. I have gambling thoughts. Stay strong man.

I had thoughts of going back too recently but just kept re focusing on that feeling of loosing and told myself never again. Don’t beat yourself up for it. It happens. There is more to this life then the things we can’t control. I pray God gives us all strength to keep going and stay away.

I pray we get through this. Your turning 30 this year I’m turning 27. If we go through this now we will see sunlight. We will see better days. We will have everything we wanted restored and shaped for our future. We needed this. Maybe our story will save someone from going through hell later. Lord knows. But I’m putting my trust in him. Have a blessed week man
Matthew116ParticipantI’m packing my bags today for a trip right now that I booked before all of this happened to go camping out of state. It’s weird how the feeling of loosing still lingering in my stomach but it is day 3. Day 3 of a journey I signed up here with all of you guys for a road of recovery and support! Thank you murr for support and everyone else that takes the time to read this. Have a blessed rest of the week, peace & love!
Matthew116ParticipantHow are you holding up?
Matthew116ParticipantMan long journey but big reward. Keep it up. God will pull us both out of this hell.
Matthew116ParticipantHang in there, put in a prayer and ask for peace.

Exactly what you said, something as little as waking up in the morning and being happy. Happy to be alive. I miss that. But we will get there. Our journey is started already. Have a blessed week!
