Thanks for your post Tina. I need to work on filling voids in as healthy a way possible.
I’ve been spending too much time sitting these days. GT is a healthy way of dealing with my addiction but not if I start putting everyone else’s recovery before my own recovery.
I have to balance my physical situation with gambling addiction recovery. And what is or isn’t working for someone else may not fit my specific situation. I know what worked for me. I know what I need to do to protect myself from the next bet as much as possible.
I remember there were times where I wanted to be able to gamble like a normal person. I didn’t want to stop. And any advice that suggested drastic steps that may interfere with that was not well received! After all I wasn’t as bad as most of the people here!
All I had to do was give it a little more time and I proved to myself that wasn’t true.
Today I will fill my recovery with positivity!
