Hello all,
Here I am on day 2. Yesterday was a payday for me and it felt really good to just focus on paying my bills. A lot of my bills are piling up and they are way behind because of my addiction. But while paying the bills I took a moment and said to myself; as bad as it is now, most likely (unless some unforeseen incident occurs) this will be the worse I am off financially. It will not get any worse. If it does get worse, it will not be because of my OWN actions. While the finances are always a big reason for me to stop gambling, as I’ve said before, the biggest reason I want to stop; my why, is I want myself back. I’m not a person who is selfish but gambling created that person; I’m not a person who doesn’t value relationships but with gambling I’d much rather isolate myself and wager than create meaningful relationships with others. Needless to say, I’m a better person without this addiction in my life. I know that can be said for all of us. As we continue to take our journeys through battling this addiction lets make sure we always remember our why. Our reason for wanting to quit.
Have a great day all!
Be blessed!
