    You can do anything you put your mind to, Steve. I believe in you. You are aware and know what’s best deep down.

    • So true thank you for me. Self-love is also in my Blindspot. One thing I’ve been trying to do is something I learned from mindful self compassion. The idea is to tell myself something positive that I would tell someone else in the same situation it works sometimes I wish you all the best.

    • Thank you for that is true deep down, I know, it’s so easy for the hurting part of me thinks that deserve to win, hopefully I can go deeper. Thanks.

    Thank you, Steve. I know but I’ve always had a difficult time with self-love and idk what I even want to do with my life and all I think about is how much I’ve lost and self-destructed. I’m 35 and feel like I’ve aged myself so much. I’ve been doing positive things for months: working out, meditating, eating well. It doesn’t feel like enough.

    Ty. At the moment, I’m not even tempted just so low and full of regret and deep sadness.

    • Yeah I think that comes from any type of recovery from addiction. Everything we wish we didn’t do. If you can fix the past keep worrying about it 🙂 better days ahead!

    The low I feel in my brain right now is unlike anything Ive felt before. Pure sadness and nothing seems to make it go away. It hasn’t even been 1 day since I stopped trading options…I finally broke down and sought out help this past week. I closed down my stock options trading account. I admitted to my parents that I have a problem and have los…[Read more]

    • It sounds like you’re a bright person having a awful time. It sounds like you have many skills that can give you a good life, give yourself the benefit of the doubt that you will get through this. It does smart at the point of loss. That’s for sure. Just know that there’s people here pulling for you and wishing the best for you.

    • I really feel and relate to this. Looking on the bright side, if we are at our lowest, there is no where to go but up.

    Thank you. It’s been very hard.

    • I know Stizz I have gone through it and still am just that is not nearly as hard as it used too be. I’m happy too say. It’s one day at a time. You know what you want you need too hold on to that. Hugs

    Does anyone struggle with trading stock options? I used to be able to control my sports betting but have lost most of my money trading options.

    • No I don’t trade stock

    • Hi Stizz I hope there is someone here that can share in your experience. Trading / sports tickets / slots/ poker all a form of gambling.
      Beating a gambling addiction is a process there is support Counciling, GA meeting in real and online..
      First is realizing a person has a problem pretty sure anyone here is aware of that. It’s a good idea too e…[Read more]
