    Hello,

    I am long time listener, first time poster. Tomorrow will be my 30 days bet free. I am so happy to report the positive changes I have been through. However, so many raw emotions. It has taken me several years to get to this point. I just wanted to say I am so grateful for signing up for the emails, because somehow I eventually started reading, then implementing the Daily Thoughts/Prayers. I also use the Sober app to keep track. I have banned myself from casinos for a year. I know this is just the beginning and I am humbled by the strength and serenity of those who are at where I want to be.

    I am struggling with the debt I have most recently occurred during the summer after a life altertering autoimmune diagnosis. It sent me off the cliff. These days, I know somehow I will make it through. However, this morning was just SO difficult. As a single mother of a child with special needs, I know I am making the right changes by actively avoiding the temptations to gamble. It is just very difficult today. Tuesdays never were my day, historically so I guess I have to roll with the punches and tough it out.

    Thanks for reading.
