Hi Don and Maverick
Thanks for your posts and hope you are both keeping well.
Don, we have to let go. It is very difficult, I know that for sure. I still and always will have regrets.
However I am trying to turn the negative into a positive by becoming a better person.
Now I want to make the most of everyday, have better relationships, look after myself more amongst many others.
I still have urges and thoughts but barriers are in place and I come on here and add to my journal or read other posts.
If I can ultimately live my life in a better way then I will try and look at the losses as the price I paid to do it.
Maverick, stay out of the “prison”. Gambling enslaves us, We know we are better off without it but it does have a magnetic draw on us. We have to recognise our triggers, stay strong, get through each day in turn.
11 months gamble free now. Some of the pain of the losses have gone now, I don’t think about it so much.
As mentioned I now want to use the losses as a spur to live the rest of my life in a good way.
Best wishes to all.
