I am very tempted to gamble today, I keep on relapsing where I bet small amounts and I realize this is simply not okay. I need to discipline myself more often and not make the urge to gamble a forceful habit. I know that one day I will let go of these temptations and be free of my urges. For now, I can only wait and keep my wellbeing in check.

I was very tempted today as well. It always surprises me that I simply can’t say Nope. Not going to. Instead I’ve tried willpower – which always fails me. And reasoning- which I always work in my “favor”. This time around I’m winning at NOT gambling because I am using everyone’s stories here as motivation to keep going. I keep telling myself (even if it’s not true!) that everyone here is waiting for me to check in with my countdown. I’m on Day 10!! And I absolutely do NOT want to check in and say I’m back to say one. Or lie to anyone here. THAT keeps me strong. For the first time ever. It keeps me strong.
Hang in there. You will find your way. You will overcome. You will be able to say I made it another day. I know you will.
That’s all any of us can do…keep trying to get to that place that gambling has no hold over us anymore… take care Lindy
