    It’s a snowy day in Michigan. I teach and because of the winter weather warning it is a snow day. In the past this would have been a day wasted on online gambling. Today, however, I am getting caught up on things around the house that I neglected over time because of gambling taking all of my time.
    The road to recovery hasn’t been easy and hasn’t been without relapse but I feel like I’ve made progress. Honestly I miss it but since I have self excluded with my state I can’t even log into my account. (And yes, ashamed to say, I’ve tried…..)

      No shame you were thinking ahead. You should be proud an addiction with gambling will trip a person up if it has a chance.
      I’m sorry you miss it. I know how that feels. Time should fade that to a fairly good degree. Hugs ❤️

    • Be proud of yourself. Even if this is the 7,983rd time you’ve “started” recovery again. You are changing for the better every time. It will get to a point where the shame begins to loosen its hold and the realization that you are overcoming something this big takes hold and you are able to lift your head high again.
      I’m proud of you. It’s hard. I know. Keep up the good fight and make sure to check in here often. It’s so so helpful and I, for one, really look forward to seeing everyone’s successful results and their Day Free count going up!! Day 13 for me today. Tomorrow is my two week milestone and I’m already excited about it!
