Good day Everyone! Today there is a piece missing inside me. I feel it and I am trying to recognize it for what it is. As I have no intention of gambling today, I feel I should try to fill that piece with something. Any ideas? Solitaire is not going to cut it today lol.

Today I will focus on the glow inside me that is starting to grow and let it make me feel good about myself. I have been here before. I need to beware that little glow does not numb the pain completely. I have seen this draw me back to “ok, I’m alright, maybe just a little”. No, no, no. I will not let it draw me in.

Hi, I am a compulsive gambler and I hurt my family financially. Your husband is not thinking with a clear mind. I can only assume his intension was to help the family not hurt them. I am not belittling what he did at all. I am just giving you a glance from this side of the addiction. As the money is critical, the addiction is destroying him…[Read more]

My share today is a good mistake. Last week there was only enough money in my account for a car payment. I stopped gambling that moment. The car payment did not go through. I thought ok, I must have my weeks mixed up. I did not touch that money since. This morning I woke up to the payment going through and almost cried to think where I would…[Read more]

I am feeling a little proud of myself this morning. Haven’t had that feeling in awhile. I was able to successfully delete my online gambling account so I cannot reactivate. Baby step but it felt good. All the best to everyone!

I’m so proud of you!!!!

An amazing start on a journey of maintaining recovery ODAAT and I know it took guts to delete your account. As an advocate and maintained gambling recovery for almost 14-yrs this pandemic has made online gambling explode and has had an increase of 41% of people turning to the internet to gamble and since many casinos are either closed or less…[Read more]

I got through a difficult night last night. Working on day 5 and I think I will NOT gamble today. Have a good one and keep looking forward.
-
Day 5 for me, too. Hang in there my friend. You have come too far to start over. That is what I keep telling myself. I don’t want to restart the recovery process.

This is a great accomplishment
Stay strong
If you find yourself tempted
Only believe you will just lose more and more
It not worth it for today
One day at a time -
I agree with KC! Keep it going and don’t worry more about the days, focus more on HOW YOU FEEL when you don’t go back out and ENJOY IT! 💝✨🎁 Even if it’s just for TODAY …Cat

Just you being here shows you can recover. You have taken a big step. Stay on this site until you feel strong enough to tell your family. Trust me I have only been chatting for 2 days and the 4 days I have clean have already given me a littler clearer mind.

Today is a good day! I hope to keep this positive out look for 2021 strong. I know I will struggle and require an ear to vent to and a voice of encouragement. For that I will be on this site daily and not forget or let down my guard to my addiction.

Struggling to not request the online gambling app to reactivate my account. Anyone know how to block yourself from doing that?
-
I can relate. I have been there and done that. I am on Day 3 of my recovery, working the steps. I am already experiencing peace of mind and I am grateful to be off that never-ending roller coaster. I always found a way to feed the addiction, I named “the monster.” I found ways around blocking myself. First, after banning myself from the…[Read more]

Hi! I am new to the web site. COVID19 has kept me away from meetings. It has also introduced me to on line gambling. I am looking for another outlet to keep me away from bad habits.
This morning I felt fed up and unmotivated so I watched funny videos on You Tube, funny outtakes of The Chase, that soon changed the duldrums and I got on with my work. Motivational videos work well also.
