    Hello everyone. It’s been tough these past 24 hours. The memory of my last loss is fading and it’s been a payday. This addiction is terrible. I keep thinking it’s so crummy having this disease. The addiction is fighting me at the moment. I want to improve but the addiction is putting up roadblocks for me to get around. I have to keep fighting. Thanks for listening.

    • Hello, you are not crummy at all my addiction. Your addiction or addiction is something we’ve picked to solve some problems. It’s just a wrong pick. Look at your payday your paycheck as your real future be strong you’re a good person

    • Stay strong my friend. Never hesitate to reach out to family, friends, support groups, etc. You can get through this. Just focus on today, what can you control to help you until this urge passes? What barriers can you put up to make it more difficult to gamble going forward? Focus on the now, that’s all we have. Remember the reasons why you want to quit, and let those feelings empower you towards a remorseless tomorrow for not giving into those urges. Sending thoughts and prayers your way during this trying time. If you need a GA meeting, check out https://gamblersinrecovery.com/ for 24-7 zoom meetings. They helped me a ton, in addition to journaling and coming clean to my wife, early on in my recovery.
