@LosingitSlowly, your rant was very valuable. Thank you for taking the time to share your story. You and so many others on this forum give me hope of better and bright future. I am taking this challenge one day at a time. I am not thinking too far ahead now. You are right about everything you said. I can relate to most of what you said. Hopefully, one day I will have made enough progress that people can also look up to me as an example and that it is possible to live gamble free life. These are testing times for me, and I have to come out on top. I won’t lie I did get some gambling urges and thoughts today, but I quickly distracted myself and they went away. I tend to visit this forum few times a day for few minutes, so that I keep getting inspired and keep reminding myself of all the beautiful things I can do If I just don’t gamble.
