Thank you everyone for your support on this forum. I’ve been away for three days and things are going well. I’m in a much better place than I’ve been, emotionally.
I don’t have urges, per se, but I still think about gambling quite a bit. I especially think about 14 days ago when I had all that money in my account and what my life would be like today if I had the money. I also know that I’m a compulsive gambler, so it’s a logical fallacy for me to win money. I have to understand the simple truth that I CANNOT WIN and I CANNOT be happy if I gamble.
Posting on this forum helps. It’s been three days since I posted and I feel a little disconnected with my feelings. I’ve been through day 12 before, and this time, it’s actually easier because I know what to expect. For today, I want to be mindful of my addiction and be strong in my recovery.
Thank you.
