Hi

It is healthy to live for today and plan for our tomorrow's but to learn from our past unhealthy experiences.

The very simple fact clean days can not be lost.

Tomorrow is a new day and will be healthier by learning from our past.

Hi

I know if I gamble today I am causing myself and others more pains.

By going back again I start to understand and learn more about my emotional triggers.

For me to understand my emotional triggers was it my my pains my fears my frustrations, loneliness and boredom.

When I use to go back to Gambling I ALWAYS made thing much worse.

For me today Gambling is unhealthy.

I can do any thing I like today providing I do not gamble.
