Day 80
Starting to get some positive things going. Returned to doing physical exercise, other old hobbies I neglected, doing more tasks around the house, cooking decent food.
Simple things to take my mind, my actions away from gambling.
Feeling more positive that I can change and STAY changed this time.
Learning to take things day by day. Each day I am more aware of trigger points.
For example today was a tough old day at work. Previously I would have come home, surfed the internet for 5 minutes but would have ended up playing roulette.
So today I am posting on here then will find something positive to do.
It’s not easy and I guess things never really will be easy but by repeating mantras like “today I will not gamble” and “I can’t change the past but I can change the future” do help.
I am feeling that reaching 80 days is a bit of an achievement but I so know one slip takes me back to zero.
I am a gambling addict, I am in recovery, the path ahead is long but achievable in small steps.
ONE DAY AT A TIME.
All the best everybody, stay strong.
