Keep hanging in there.. those urges try to take us down, i sometimes see this addiction as a monster in a cage wanting a feed and it gets very roudy and restless when its hungry but the job i have is to starve it as its an evil lump of no good..
starve that monster and the more you starve it the more it will kick back but after a while it will weaken and you will become stronger and it will become weaker.. those hungry growls will die down and it will be easier the more and more you deny it… dont feed the monster john.. you are doing so well.. i hope your date goes well with the lady you met… how exciting. change is coming, grab onto it and dont look back, let go of gambling, embrace the new..
