I would like to know how everyone stays positive while dealing with the aftermaths of gambling: debt, strained family relationships, ect…
Matthew 11:28 New Living Translation (NLT)
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
For myself, I would say to have faith and hope!
gratitude for the world around me, nature, sunrises, rainbows, the sound of trees in the wind. Gratitude for second chances.
Really being there, and knowing that you are in that moment.
Being open to the possibilities, that life can get better.
Accept that you cannot change the past, but you can control the future. Make smart, strong decisions from here out. Do not beat yourself up too much, because you didn’t kill anybody….you had a moment of weakness, of which you reminded yourself why we shouldn’t be doing these things. It helps to not “hate” yourself, because, for me, when I have those feelings, I start to “not care” anymore, and spiral into the hole that has brought us all here in the first place!
I know it is easier said than done, but the fact you are here shows that you care…and that is very important!
