Hello,

Like most of us, I have been on this journey of self destruction for many many many years. It always ends the same way. With the lows outweighing the highs and always searching for that high. I come here today, very humble, looking for a new journey because the one I have been on the last 15 years isn’t a healthy nor a productive nor a successful one. The amount of money that I have lost through the years is mindblowing, while the money is one thing the time is something that I’ve really lost and cannot get back . The time in relationships, the time with being more productive and the time with my marriage. Today is day 1 of my new journey. I hope to meet others on this same path.
Have a great day and I will not gamble today!

Craig – I hope this day has been positive for you. It’s a new/fresh start and you CAN sustain your positive mindset. I have been 9 months gamble free and each day I stay gamble free is a wonderful feeling. Give yourself the permission to experience the opposite of gambling nightmare. You can do it – one day at a time.

sjc thank you for your post. I appreciate you stopping in.
I had a great day. One thing about not gambling, it seems like there are so many more minutes in the day to accomplish task. You are right, I want to experience my old self- pre gambling addict. I want to remember what it’s like to live for something other than an outcome of a game.

One day at a time!

Good day all.

Here I am at day 2. Taking it with the one day at a time approach. All is well and I have made a commitment to myself today to not place any wagers or gamble in any form.

Have a great day !

Well done Craig! Imagine how you’d feel if you were posting month 2 or year 2? I put a reminder on my calendar at the beginning of every month and I’m watching those numbers stack up! Keep going one day at a time 🙂

Also I buy myself something at the beginning of every month as a kind of congratulation pressie! Just something small but significant:) because if I was still gambling I’d have no money to do that.

Hey CraigMac!

I’m glad you started a new thread. This forum has become a lonely place. Tons of spam and little-to-no posts from regulars or anybody at all. I’ll try to post myself at least sometimes.
Also yeah, congratulations on your Day 2. One day at a time.

Well done la.

Same journey starts here. Same conclusions. Time is something you can’t get back.

Love you
