I was trying to figure out the best way to start a new thread for me and make a thread that will help me focus on my recovery. I am now in a pact with Jim (Gunner) from 01 July 2012 to be Gamble Free, but it has also been a couple days already for me being clean and I feel more than ever that I can tame this dragon, finally.
So, in a little bit of a copycat of Sherrie’s “10 Positive Things” thread, here is my “3 is a Magic Number” thread where I will post 3 good things that happened to me that day. I figure if I kind of move the focus OFF gambling, it will feel less pressurised on myself and distract me by looking at all the good things I do have in life, no matter how small or simple they are! That helps me a lot. And if I run out of good things, I can always use “I DID NOT GAMBLE TODAY” 3 times! 🙂
1. I had dinner out with some family and had a really nice meal and chat and quality time with them all this evening.
2. I had massive urges to gamble this afternoon but I did not act on them, when I attempted to visit some sites I found them all on serious BLOCK and it was a great relief.
3. I had a phone call from my brother and it’s always good to chat to him. I was also able to help with a problem he had.—– Levi  [[Gamble Free Pact – Levi/Gunner – 01 July 2012]] —–
