All good on the gambling front.
The thing that has struck me is all the benefits of not gambling. Debt now halved, had some great experiences, times, events, new friends, bought nice items. All not possible with gambling and opportunities that would have been taken away.
The most important benefit however is stronger relationships with those around me. I’m no longer an angry, bitter, uncontrollable mess that I was when starting this journey in recovery. Even fun to be around, can have a laugh and a giggle. Back to old me, gambling behind me and looking at a great future.
Marathon, not a sprint. Getting closer to where I want to be every day.
Stay strong people!
