Hi Kin
Many thanks for your wishes. I have been reading your posts and particularly like your way of looking at being grateful for small things. It is so important to be grateful for the little things as it helps us feel “grounded”.
Things going ok, been about 10 months gamble free now.
My thoughts at the moment focussed on building a better me. I will admit I have had thoughts about gambling again. I have built up a bit of money in my account again.
However at the moment I distract myself by doing other more positive things such as going out with my partner, exercising or jobs on the house.
I know that devil on my shoulder will always be there. I need to keep telling it to shut up!
At the moment I don’t post so much. I am aware that I must not get complacent, but I don’t feel that I need to get as much “out there” as in the very early days of recovery.
I do realise that it is STILL early days in recovery and that the simple thing to remember is to take things one day at a time.
One slip and I go back ho square one or worse!
The path I feel I must take is one of continual self improvement.
As a gambler I believe I became lazy, wanted a cheap thrill, wanted money for nothing, for no real effort.
I want to be better than that. Onwards and upwards.
Best wishes one and all, we can beat this, one day at a time.
