Hey Kin

Thank you for stopping in. I appreciate your post and it’s good to have those reminders. 10 years ago I quit chewing tobacco after being a user for like 17 years. The quote was very difficult in there was a site. I actually went to at the time every day to post my commitment and I have like quit brothers and a lot of the stuff that you mentioned was stuff I was aware of you know back then. The fog suck a different stages yeah I remember quite well. But as I just celebrated my 10th year of being free from dip I didn’t really feel that good cause I just felt like I had transferred my addiction from dip to gambling and I’m not sure which one is worse. In fact I think gambling is probably worse. They were both bad. Don’t give me wrong. Gambling can be all day every day with a cell phone where dip I had to just do it I had my own time. It really is one thing to disappointed me, though. I feel like even though I’ve been free of a 10 years. I just transferred my addiction to another Bad Act. So now I’m trying to use this free time and put it towards something good to become addicted to my health, my fitness, my family. And obviously, the mental fight, knowing that my mind will try to tell me, I can control it when I know I can’t. I have 17 years of losing money as a private example of that being false.
Again, I really appreciate you stopping in and providing support. It’s much appreciated. On Monday too it’s been a good day. My challenging days are when sports are happening like the NFL college football and really put me over the edge of tennis. I never even watched tennis before, but the action all day every day so many matches so many points matter that was one of mine triggers as well. Have a great day.
