Hello, 20th day here without gambling. I was feeling a bit down couple of days ago and my mind was instantly switched towards finding comfort in gambling but then another thought came across my mind ” If I don’t gamble, I won’t have any financial issues” and this thought put a brake to my initial thoughts. Yesterday was also my most productive day of the year in terms of work. I need to find more hobbies or activities that I can do in times of hardship and mental stress. Any ideas? I used to exercise but haven’t been exercising for quite some time now. I think I have put on a lot of weight due to binge eating, work stress and financial stress which are probably exhausting me mentally as well. the saying, ” you are what you eat” is true. My first step was to quit gambling, now I have to take control of my health, start eating healthy, and be more physically active.
