    Day 17- this is the longest streak of no gambling I’ve had in years. Here’s a few things that have helped me so far. Remembering the pain gambling has brought me everyday. Being sick and tired of that pain and knowing that I dont want to feel it again. Not chasing my losses and accepting that all that money is lost is gone for good. Keeping busy with daily activities so I dont get bored and gamble. Self respect and telling myself that I will never let myself fall that low again in my life. Meditation and a morning prayer for courage, strength and forgiveness.

      Congratulations on Day 17 and thanks for sharing what has worked for you. All of those are very positive. I am working on the keeping busy part. I work during the week but my weekends need some routine and planning so I am not sitting there looking stupid with nothing to do, which was time that I would spend gambling.
