It’s been 3 weeks. Urges come and go, sometimes really bad. But my mind is getting more peaceful day by day. My hearts is full of love for my forgiving and supportive husband. I am full of excitement for the jewelry business I am starting. I used to think life will be lonely without gambling, but the truth is life was lonelier when I was gambling. Yes I am deep in debt but I am able to repay it by working harder. I have extra money left in my account and able to reward myself with little things I wanted but could not buy when I was losing money at the casinos. My credit score is very poor but that is not my priority right now. Therapy, support system, prayers and Gamtalk are contributing to my path to recovery (and my doggie too ) So friends, let’s forgive ourselves and continue fighting this disease. There is hope and happiness is waiting for us. Happy Weekend and take care everyone!

You are here:
Forgiving ourselves – difficult but necessary. You wouldn’t kick a loved one while they’re down but unconsciously, we do it to ourselves.
If we could have done better, we would have. All we can do is forgive ourselves, focus on why change is necessary, and then move forward.
You are absolutely right. Forgiving one’s self is very difficult, but it’s the only way we could move forward. Try not to look at the pain of the past but look forward to the peace and happiness of life without gambling. we will get there, one day at a time.
Love it yolip! You’re doing it!!!❤️❤️❤️…. I can’t wait to see my new bracelet from your beautiful jewelry line.❤️❤️❤️
Hey Diamond! Yours will be the first bracelet I will create, with so much love. Take care and enjoy what’s left of the weekend 🙂
Hi Yolip
Sounds like you are doing okay hugs. Have your stones arrived yet for your jewelry? I joined an art site. Gonna become famous now 🙂
Hi Serenity! I am anxiously waiting for them. It could be a week or two before they arrive. Still sourcing other materials too, which is occupying most of my free time. When an urge to gamble comes, I tell myself I need the money for the materials and then the urge is gone instantly. Saw your painting. It’s lovely. You have a gift! Just don’t forget me when you’re famous ♥️😊
Yolip you are so sweet. Thank you for the nice compliments. I am so very proud of you. You reason with yourself. And your priority is you and your passion too create so wonderful. Hugs. We really do need powerful things to occupy our minds. When I paint gambling doesn’t enter my thoughts not even for a mili second. Nor other stressors in my life. Nice hearing from you!
