Hi Yoyo,
How are things? I wanted to change everything too. Now I try to remind myself its ‘progress not perfection’.
Each time we manage to avoid gambling for any length of time, our brain learns we can do it.
I have been free for a while but not without a few setbacks along the way. Today I really wanted to gamble. Lots of times buying petrol is a challenge because of the lottery tickets beside the till. Once you start to see success you can stop and think I now am getting the things I believed I needed a win for. Of course the win never went on those things anyway.
Stay serious Yoyo. Keep trying. Pat yourself on the back for everytime you say no to gambling. Stick with it. You deserve a life without this misery.
