Diary day 7.
I feel stronger towards defeating this addiction with every day that goes by. I know that it is only a short time since it came out about my gambling however I have stopped for longer. I stopped because I finally realised what I was doing was destroying me and breaking me. It wasn’t just hurting me but it was hurting my family too. This isn’t just about me, it’s about the people I love too. I wasn’t forced to stop by anyone else which is another reason why I will prove that I can beat this.
I believe that pain is temporary and it might last for a short time or a while, but while I work hard to prove that I am a better person the pain will slowly pass. The Pain will then have to be replaced by something and I hope that it is replaced by love. I will make sure I devote my time to my family and make them as happy as I can.
I’m not a coward and I will show how brave I am and overcome this and I know that People will talk about me but I will take it all and hold my head high and prove why my family decided to stand by me and come to Cyprus with me.
Our future has a really good chance of being good again. But it needs me to work really hard at being a good husband and dad.
I will make a difference with the rest of my life
