    Haven’t gambled in a couple weeks. I sure wish it was longer. I need to get out of this hole. Well one day at a time.

    I’ve been having a very hard time getting my mind right. I’m not looking to gamble, but my **** is so emotionless. I feel like I’m stuck with this problem, and I will always have this problem, thus I will never be ok. I really want to come at everyday positive right now, but I don’t see how.

    I made it through the weekend without any urges. I’ve been contemplating a lot of things in my life recently. Mostly thinking of where gambling has taken my life. Is it to late to make things right? I know it’s not, but sometimes it feels like it is.

    Just typing to keep not gambling fresh in my head. Today I will not place a bet. Had a couple rough **** swings, but time heals

    Last night was a little rough for me. Not with urges to play poker, but I was *****. It wasn’t fair to my family that I let a **** that probably stems from me losing money affect their night. It wasn’t anything terrible, but still not necessary. As for today, I will not gamble. I will strive to have a better day than yesterday.

    Today is 1 week. There have been ***** where that is an accomplishment. Right now it isn’t as much. My schedule doesn’t allow me to gamble everyday. I would typically play twice a week. The thing is today I don’t want to gamble. Everytime I type here is a reminder gambling hurt me, and won’t help me. This path will help me.

    Monday. New week. Starting my week strong. I’m not gambling today. I’m going to stay positive. I’m going to eat right, and excersise a little. Thoughts of extra debt are haunting me a bit, but the only thing I can do is accept. No need to waste energy fighting the truth. I will stay on track. Slow and steady
    This week I will move forward to improve my life.

    This is a real thing that happens Luna. It has happened to me many ***** over. Sick, right? Well in a way we are always sick, and dangerously sick when we are gambling.
    When I look back those ***** don’t seem real. But it is posts like yours that remind me they are real, and they will happen again. Thank you for posting your experience. It is a reminder to all of us that this is our life when gambling. Be strong, and fight. You can do it.

    Happy Sunday everyone. I don’t really have any new updates, but I’d like to keep my recovery fresh in my mind. I am not going to gamble today. I’m going to enjoy my family, and concentrate on positives in my life.

    Today is another day. I had rough moments of frustration last night. I guess it it expected.
    I figure it’s natural. The thing is, this time I’m not going to focus on negatives. I’ve wasted to much time being negative. I’m going to do what I can to have a great weekend. I hope you guys do as well. Be strong.

    Well it’s day 3 after my blow up. I’m hoping its my final blow up, but I will never know. Anyway today I will not place a bet. It will not help me. I dug a whole with gambling that has given me many problems. Gambling won’t fix them.
    Good news is I do have other things in my life to be thankful for. Those are the things I’m focussing on today.

    Thanks Harry. I’m preparing for my ups and downs, but I’m choosing to focus on a better future. Instead of thinking about poker and quick money. I’m thinking about a long process of saving, paying debt, and thinking about a retirement someday. No matter what I try to talk myself into, I can’t have any of it with poker. In fact, I probably can’t have anything at all with poker.
    So today I choose to look at the big picture. Today I will accept the damage I’ve done, and look at a future I can still have.

    You are about 4 or 5 weeks ahead of me in gamble free days. I just wanted to thank you because watching your days add up helped me comprehend one day at a  time
