6 weeks gamble free.
Was it easy? No.
As long as I had access to money I continued to gamble.
I would not stop and I was blinded by my addiction.

The first few weeks were filled with anxiety and depression.
Most of the time I miss the action of gambling and the escape it gave me from reality.
My financial situation is slowly starting to recover.

I gave up access to my finances this holds me accountable for my actions.
I am getting one on one counseling to help me understand what an addiction to gambling is
how it is triggered by my ego and coping with my emotions.

One day at a time.
