Hi all

I am going to fire away straight to the point .
In the past when I tried and failed to be GF I always made one big mistake.

I always thought of the past and the enormous amounts of money that I have lost .

The problem with that was I was making myself negative and impacted the way I was thinking and also worked on my subconscious mind .

I believe the difference now is always try and have a positive frame of mind towards recovery of this addiction and don’t let the past eat you up .

We can change the future but the past is done and dusted .

Thank you for all CG posts I find it really helpful and I believe we all have different ways of fighting this addiction but one thing we all need to do is stay gamble free.

To stay gamble free would only make us stronger day by day .

I failed all the time because I never excepted my losses and moved on .

Let’s all focus on our futures we all have loved one’s and people who are worried about us let’s show them we can do this together .

Remember we are not alone .

We are only one bet away from disaster .

Stay positive life is gift and we should embrace this.
