Hi Seri
With each new thing I try and every time I fill my time with positive experiences, I am retraining my mind to find the fun in life. For the longest time, nothing seemed like fun except to gamble. There is some great information about the excitement center of our brains. The studies show how the CG damages that area and everything else understimulates the addicted brain. With time and filling our time with other things, I believe we can begin healing that area. I am beginning to really enjoy things again. A good movie, a nice lunch, a brisk walk, are all starting to feel like fun again.
I couldn’t hold a decent thought for ten minutes without getting fidgety and short tempered when I was gambling. Staying clear of gambling is allowing me to experience real life again. I am a more attentive friend, wife, and mother lately. I like these benefits a lot!
