Thank you for sharing your challenges and congrats on being on day 3 of not gambling. When I decided to stop gambling I also thought that I would need to find something to fill the void. To find another addiction to replace the gambling one. Alcohol? Drugs? Maybe computer gaming? But that is not a good solution at all. I decided to focus on bettering myself and spending more time being engaged in the moment of every day life. As silly as that might sound, when I was gambling, I would be constantly checking my phone for updates on games and missing out on what was going on around me. Or falling behind with work. I believe you’ll find what makes you happy once you realize that you don’t need to gamble.
