Hi Maverick, Thanks for thinking of me and checking in on my thread. I am sorry you are struggling from a recent slip, but it sounds like you had a nice Christmas with your family. Focus on that and how it was better because of the gamble-free time you had leading up to the Holidays. Progress.
The time following Christmas and then the New Year has always been difficult for me too. Lots of urges. I actually made plans in my mind to gamble. I wasn’t able to follow through because other things came up.
None of us are perfect, but the important thing is to continue trying, continuing on the journey of recovery, which will continue to bring improvement to our lives. Hang in there.
I am also sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I’ll keep you in my prayers. I wish you good health and a happy, prosperous new year!
