I hear you, IDI.
It gets more painful with every “fall”.
Why?
Because we lose confidence and think we will never get back to “recovery”.
Every flaw in our surroundings becomes magnified post gambling. Everything seems hopeless and other people become the enemy. I think that is why we isolate .
Time for the Serenity Prayer.
Some things will never change. That is possibly true about your situation at home. All we can do is change our own behaviour, which also seems impossible at times.
I have an awful dose the past few days. Upper respiratory infection. Expecting family tomorrow and have gone to a fair bit of preparation but already I’m getting texts message saying “I don’t think we can make it”!!! Not an ideal recipe for a non gambling New Years Day but in my case I have made up my mind.
2019 will be a G free Year.
My last time of entry to a casino (hell) was December 26th at approx 7.30 pm. I was well after midnight (possibly 1.30 am ) when I left but I’m c ounting December 26th as my last gambling date.
Just make up your mind and draw a line under the last episode.
If nothing changes, nothing changes!
