Day 8
A quick check in. Still gamble free so trying to give myself some credit for that.
I try and deflect thoughts of damage done to my finances, the time I have wasted and tell myself I can’t change things now. I have to finally learn from it and NEVER go back.
I still have some great relationships around me, if I continue I would be in danger of losing them for sure. I pushed my luck to limit really and lost.
The future can be a lot brighter without gambling. I have slid to the bottom of a big mountain, I am thinking I am grateful to be still alive. I need to dust myself off and slowly pick my way back up that mountain, being far more careful in every step taken.
So I am trying to wake up everyday, check in with myself and go through a plan for the day. Be grateful for the small things and look after those around me and myself too.
It will be hard, I will not try do things all by myself this time. There are others around on this journey.
