Community 2 years, 4 months agoHi all, just a quick note – I drove by the casino today, as it is close to where I live – and I was slightly tempted to spend 10 minutes and $20 there (just for fun-it wouldn’t hurt) , but then I quickly rejected my wicked thoughts and kept driving. I told myself that I cannot go back to where I was. I don’t want to. I am so proud of myself! :-)…[Read more]

Very well said, Woundedhealer. Baby steps – Rome wasn’t built in one day. I like that analogy. Practicing daily affirmations helps too. Switch your negative thinking to a positive one. Start loving yourself and believe in yourself. If you don’t, who else will?

Nyomi, it is not easy, but you can do it. We can all do it if we set our minds to it. I started my recovery 5 days ago, and I’m glad to say that I stayed strong. One day at a time. One step at a time. Keep a journal. Every day that goes by I put a smiley face on my calendar. 🙂 Meditation and prayer help too. You CAN do it.

Great advice Monica, this site is a good place to start. Daily check in, read KenL posts, I am not a church goer, but I believe in spirituality and the existence of a higher power. This whole journey is about baby steps, figuring out you, the whys this behaviour/ addiction started and getting yourself better. Rome wasn’t built on a day, and I h…[Read more]

Hi Lee, I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been in the same boat, and now I’m trying to quit. I’ve never thought I would be joining such a community, because I thought I am much stronger than this, but honestly, learning from others and supporting each other definitely helps. I’ve been advised here to keep a journal and to write my thoughts every…[Read more]

Meditation helps too.

Thanks a lot for your encouragement and suggestions. Good idea! I’ll start a journal today. I did well for a while, but then I relapsed and it’s now affecting my financial situation more and more. Yes, we can do this. We are strong! Thanks again and keep me posted on how you are holding up. DAY 1 for me! On day/step at a time…

Sure will keep you posted, glad I could be a help. I will keep you undated and you also. One day at a time and as my numbers grow my confidence should also.

Community 2 years, 4 months agoHi everyone! I’m new to this community, but I had to join in to see how others recover from gambling problems. It was fun at the beginning, but it’s not anymore, and I’m trying to quit. Any suggestions? I’m struggling big time!

It’s a long process but we are able. Lately I’ve just been a little anxious but I’m trying. I also tried to join a GA meeting virtually but wasn’t successful. I will keep trying
Keep it up. Stay strong.👍
