Featured Day 5:as I have been so busy all day with my job ..I haven’t faced any difficulties with my addiction:)Still going,still free.
Featured Addiction is a chronic disease that with time, patience and willpower can be successfully managed. Because denial keeps an addiction going, the first crucial step in recovery is admitting there’s a problem and being receptive to help.
Featured Here I’m:end of the day 4.As I have spent the whole day out and keeping myself busy with work and friends.It seems an easy clear day:)I was thinking about gambling but I had no difficulties with it:)My first suggestion to anyone who is in the same situation:don’t be afraid to talk about it,it’s not a shame..we are only humans we all make mistakes:)tonight I’m going to sleep again really happy and proud of myself.
Featured Day 4-Today I wake up thinking :”Its only the 4th day.Will I make it?”Im trying to get involved more friends and people in my recovery.Thinking its easy to lie for myself if I’m falling back but I wouldn’t pretend to be “clear” for many of you. Although 90 days is considered the gold standard of the addiction treatment, you can’t put a timeline on beating an addiction. Addiction is a life-long enemy, and recovery is a daily battle–even after years..Welcome in my life:90 Day Challenge!:) I’m wishing everyone a positive day.
Featured My first night home alone after deciding stop gambling.Another huge step..as I have been worried spending time alone.I have created a flyer ,trying to search in my area for other peoples who are dealing with the same battle. Im still feeling so proud of myself :)
Featured Little motivation :”Recovery is possible It is not enough to “just say no”—as the 1980s slogan suggested. Instead, you can protect (and heal) yourself from addiction by saying “yes” to other things. Cultivate diverse interests that provide meaning to your life. Understand that your problems usually are transient, and perhaps most importantly, acknowledge that life is not always supposed to be pleasurable.”
Featured First of all I would like to say thank you for me new followers,welcome to my life:)Hello Day 3! Its a new day,new beginning,no gambling.Yesterday I had an amazing day,Im trying to keep myself busy and Im just realizing there are so many great things out in the world.Life is not about sitting on your phone and trying to fool yourself you can win money..Making yourself depressed ,turning your back to friends and family.Because you feel so exhausted and angry ..you dont want to talk to no one.You put all your energy trying to win back the money you have lost.One of the reason its hard to stop playing..cause you left yourself in debt.And we are worried how can we clear it off.And our brain is constantly telling for us play and you will win.To be honest to myself yes Im thinking about it right now too..But its all about a strong decision.And I truly believe in myself that I can do.I want to be clear I want to enjoy my life I dont want the stress anymore.I dont want the money..which in the end it wouldt be yours anyway..only the gambling sites will win.You remain with the fear.So here Im today in my beginning of my journey,I know the road is long..But Im feeling still positive and happy and most of all proud of myself.We can do it!
Featured After years of gambling I have finally decided to stop it.Alone it wont be easy,Im hoping if I share my story and I write a daily blog might help.
