Hello all: I guess I was kinda looking
For a response to my last post…
Maybe perhaps not because I am somewhat new to the forum ?
Anyhow-! I hope everyone is sober today…
For a Monday

I was tempted to gamble at the store today-
I fought off(white knuckling it?)
The urges
And I was wondering if a hope of being
Gamble -free for this week
Would be a start?
So far ;
My day 1 gamble free is going
Ok- but I gotta keep
Reminding myself why I can’t?

I tell
myself all the hundreds if not thousands of dollars I have wasted trying to win “the big one”
Or “I’ll be happier if I win a lot of money “

I’ve seen a lot of Sobriety on this forum, I wonder what even a week of it would look like? I don’t think I’ve ever had even a week of sobriety in the last couple years?

I wanna keep reminding myself why I should stay gamble free…
