    Day 9- No Gambling is the only way. I feel good about life and believe in myself to make my life better. Gambling only brought out the worst in me.

    • That’s exactly right. It’s in the rear view mirror….don’t look back. What do you want your new life to look like?? Think about things that peak your interest, a passion you used to have as a child, or something you’re just naturally good at….And if you can combine that with using it to being of service to others you’ve found your destined path…[Read more]

    I know it hurts. The pain is what is motivating me to not gamble. I never want to feel like that again. You will come out of this stronger than you were. Be patient and hang in there and stay on the path of not gambling. Everything will balance out with time.

    Day 6- I went to get my coffee in the morning and felt a strong urge to gamble. I resisted the urge and got thru it. I remembered my family and the pain and it kept me from making the wrong choice. Stay strong and resist. Do not gamble.

  • Readytoquit posted an update in the group Group logo of CommunityCommunity 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    Day 5- Morning routine to start my day and set the tone. Its getting easier not to gamble with each day that I resist. Making better choices with my money and going to start paying back my debts and catch up to my bills. I have to be patient and stay the course on my plan to best version of myself. The version of me that does not gamble.

    Day 4- Gambling is like a program in our minds. Reprogramming and replacing gambling with a positive habit is essential to quitting. Here’s a few things working for me at the moment: positive videos first thing in the morning. Exercise and meditation. Reading my notes everyday about the pain Gambling has brought me. Forgiving myself and b…[Read more]

    • That’s so great.💕💕 You should be very proud of yourself. Another idea that always moves the needle toward happiness and out of your own head is doing a random act of kindness for someone else. However small the act might be it makes you forget about your own problems for a while and brightens another persons day too. A real W…[Read more]

    Day 3- Watching discipline/motivational videos first thing in the morning to help me remember my purpose. Walks in the park and exercise help to keep me grounded and feeling good. Remembering the pain Gambling has brought me and my family. Making good financial choices. Taking my life back from this addiction with fierceness and courage. Feeling…[Read more]

  • Readytoquit posted a new activity comment 3 months, 4 weeks ago

    I can relate to all of those feelings. There’s nothing we can do about the past but learn from it. The money we lost is gone and gambling will never get it back for us. Accept that its all gone, Accept that this is where we have to start from and forgive ourselves for the self destructive choices weve made. Hang in there, things will get better w…[Read more]

    • I am done with gambling for good. It’s just so frustrating and shamefully to be in the position I’m in. Thank you for your advice.

  • Readytoquit posted a new activity comment 3 months, 4 weeks ago

    Youre welcome. i know it hurts but We will get thru this together. Take it one day at a time.

  • Readytoquit posted a new activity comment 4 months ago

    Hang in there Im in a financial hole too. Come up with a plan. Everything will be alright and you will get out of your hole but you have to stop gambling right now. Remember the pain it had brought your life when you want to gamble again. Become sick and tired of that pain.

    • Thank you. I just put in a state exclusion application online. I have to get this under control. I’m in such a mess right now. It helps to talk to people who understand though.

      • Youre welcome. i know it hurts but We will get thru this together. Take it one day at a time.

      • Hi Robin
        If you find talking with people who understand you may I suggest you find a gamblers anonymous meeting in your area

        God Bless
