    It is day 23 for me free of any bets. Free of any bets 🙂
    I’m reading people’s posts here and I hear and feel your struggles with this gambling addiction.
    I’m feel fortunate that I have people too share my struggles with.
    On day one and really the first couple of weeks trying not too gamble I was frantically looking on here too read people’s posts in hopes I could find some words too help me stay away if even for a day.
    And I did … the pain and suffering gambling causes is quite debilitating.
    From loss of self, family, friends financial burdens.
    Some of these I carry with myself.
    I know things won’t improve for myself if I continue to gamble. I know I was never promised an easy life despite gambling.
    I want too make ‘‘this the best life that it can be.
    Do I fear going back? 100% I do really from past failures.
    I know in the moment I can just take this one day at a time. Anything more would be exasperating.
    If I do happen too fail cause I’m not going too put the pressure on myself that that isn’t possible because it is.
    I’ll try again. In what ever form that takes. I’m not letting gambling have my life.
    And I won’t fear losing the people who love me because love is just that. They will stand beside me. As I would for them.
    I’m here I care about what you are going through as well as what you have too say. I respect and appreciate your words.
    To be honest without you I’m alone in this. I need you.
    One day at a time. One hour at a time if that’s what it needs too be. ❤️
