I am 9 days without gambling. How do I feel? I feel okay, like there is hope. Pay day hit this past Friday which has always been my day to gamble. I didn’t have access to any money so that helped and I also tried to fill my time by going to the gym and hanging with friends. I’ve had one urge to gamble a couple of times but it passes in about 20 minutes. I’m planning to still attend GA to aid in my recovery. It’s tough. I’ve been in a low place, mentally, which is a trigger and gambling is the “escape”, to take my mind of things, just me and the machine. Thankfully, I am fully aware that I need a mindset change and I DO have the will to quit.
