Day 64- no gambling to report, feeling calmer and not missing any kind of gambling with money,family life and the challenges it brings are definitely improving and definitely feeling more responsible and having an inner peace,no more wreckless behaviour or taking chances, one day at a time and beginning to respect the value of money,myself and others I have around me which is the most important.

Day 65- no gambling to report, keeping busy and have no intent or any thought process of gambling,this recovery is thankfully going to plan which is very important, a plan of action and sticking to what is in place is paramount,one day at a time, finally surrendering to this and not wasting any more time or money is very satisfying.

Hi

79 Days gambling free is very impressive well done.

Yes for me keeping busy writing down my needs my wants and my goals helped me get my a*s in to gear.

Being in the recovery program and woring my recovery I found I was feeling less anxious less panic and more clarity in my life.

For me I avoid getting drunk do have some alcohol now and again, but it not a habit for me now.

Getting drunk was another way of me escaping in my fears

I am less muddled and have more clarity

It is important to have plans arranged.

Yes it works well one day at a time is paramount.

Keep up the good work, life is much better not living in pain and not living in fears.

Love and peace to every one

@gadaveuk thank you for your understanding and it makes great sense what you say Dave, day 86 no gambling to report, been very busy and not been on for a few days but it’s great to report that slowly but surely I am getting myself and my soul back away from gambling, relationships improving and dopamine levels are returning in a positive way, looking back gambling causes damage you don’t see at the time as it is a very dangerous addiction, seeing the light and the end of the tunnel and things are going well, still one day at a time and to look forward and live a gamble free life.

Hi

It is my pleasure sharing with you and all others.

The sooner we find a much healthier path in our life the less painful life will be for us.

That is much healthier being day 86 with no gambling to report.

Yes for me been very busy and motivated yet not obsessive was important for my recovery.

It is nice if we have a healthier relationship with our self first of all.

Choosing healthier choices each day is a positive way to our healing.

Yes for me it is still one day at a time and to look forward and live a gamble free life.

Life is much better with out self pains and fears growing all of the time.

For me just for today no secrets no lies no deceptions ansd to ahve peace with in, it is a kind of magic.

Thank you

Love and peace to every one

Still gamble free, football season starting again and have had to be on my guard, eight months since last bet and it feels good to know I have not relapsed, lots have changed and the battle continues, understand this is not over and still a way to go, need to give this my upmost respect and to never go back.
