Today I was having urges it could have ended up in a disaster but fortunately the universe helped me not to go in but I was really close fortunately in the last second my work messaged me it was a blessing .
19 years of losing every dollar was enough I don’t want to go back I hate it my body craves it but I hate it I hate chasing loses I hate not being able to get up and leave when I’m up i hate running back and forth to atm until there is nothing left to take out . Gonna take it one hour at a time and be strong .
Hi
For me my recovery was very slow stable baby steps.
I know that in the past each time I gambled I simply made things much worse.
I got to learn that I needed to take one day at a time.
Just for today only I do not want or need to gamble.
It was important to use the telphone list when I felt emotionally vulnerable.
I handed over my money and my finances which heled me considerly.
Each day my wife gave me enough for coffee or some snaks.
Thank you.
