Day 953 since rock bottom
Day 407 since the last relapse
Thanks Kin for checking in. Hope you are keeping well.
Life is getting better every day. I am able to live a life devoid of gambling. I am able to focus completely on my work. I no longer regret what I did and how bad I was 953 days ago. I treat the series of events and many years of gambling prior to my rock bottom as a much needed lesson to understand what’s important in life. An extremely expensive but very valuable lesson.
Finances are no longer a concern. I still send my full paychecks to my family every month. I don’t want to take any chances and tempt fate. I don’t really know how strong I have gotten yet, but I know as long as I keep my money away from my reach, it will continue to be safe. I am able to discuss with family before making any big purchases which keeps urges in check.
The effort to stay gamble free is much much lower nowadays. I don’t even think about it anymore. My family, this forum and a lot of you friends here have been a big part of my recovery. I am ever grateful for all I have.
Staying gamble free. One day at a time!
