Don’t give up fighting! You are worth a gamble free life! There were days in the beginning that I barely held on from gambling. For myself, it’s become easier to not gamble with time although I still do experience urges and thoughts sometimes. It seems these times are becoming fewer! This is my experience as I know that everyone is different!
Dealing with life without gambling has been challenging. I have dredged through a lot of feelings and have concluded that I need to change many things that have made me unhappy. Not a easy feat at 61 years old.
I have a small circle of friends. I seem to try to mix acquaintances as friends. This has seemed to cause me some heartache. Maybe it’s because I am gullible or lonely. I don’t know,but I’m working on this. My family dynamics hasn’t changed. The dysfunction is still there. I’m putting my efforts into my Children and Grandchildren and distancing myself as much as possible from the negativity from other family members. Boundaries are getting easier!
Life is meant to be happy. I don’t want any regrets.
RG, don’t ever give up!!!
