Rising: I am happy to hear that you have a loving and supporting family! It is a wise idea to give them control over your money so as to not feed your addiction and congratulations on your lengthly sobriety!
When you get tempted to gamble, do you think of the money that you lost over the years? Does that help you avoid going out and gambling again? I was once told by an old sponsor in order to have a change you have to go through “ The pain of change”
But it’s well worth the pain! Because you are not feeding your addiction, but it’s either that or “the pain of staying the same”
And the Pain in staying the same is definitely worse…
Keep
Up the great work!
