Thanks for those words I-d-I. Sorry I have been far too busy to Check on the forum the past month or so. I appreciate your words and kindness. Well just thought I would come on here for an update since it has been a bit. I have started my new job on Jan 13 and it is a career that I have no previous experience in so it has all been very overwhelming for me but I am determined to succeed. I have been gamble free for 3 months and 23 days total, and I don’t think of gambling for even one second of my day. The only reminder I have from gambling is when I open up my bank app and see my debt, but ever two weeks I put 75% of my paycheque to my debt, which will have me debt free in around 7-8 months time. Basically I am volunteering at my new job for just under a year due to my gambling addiction. I have also been sober from alcohol and substances for nearly 2 months and that as well is a huge accomplishment for me. With my new job I really have to have a clear mind, or I will not succeed, the workload is far too strenuous. Being gamble free for around 113 days feels .. well.. almost like a relief and a weight has been lifted off of my shoulder… I never thought I would be able to get out of it. Gambling was probably the worse addiction I’ve ever had in my life, because the damage I did to my brain, finances, happiness, was like no other. However I have re wired my brain now and it can only get better from here. My main focus is paying off my debts , staying sober, working out 7 days a week and mastering my new position in my new career. I hope everyone here is well, you won’t be seeing me much because of my new roll and how busy my schedule is but I will leave on this note. Anybody who is facing this addiction and it caught in the wrath right now, it can get better. You can beat this. You will beat this with the proper resources and the right mind set. I am living proof from Someone who lost every penny to their name, maxed out credit cards, lines of credit, overdrafts, lied, ruined relationships… it can all be reversed I promise you that because I am here today a new man than when I was a gambling addict , and that’s just in 113 days. To name a few people who I always have nothing but respect and gratitude for. Meghna(you have helped me become this new man) Jen, Vera, idi, seanraj, Kin, Monica, Ryan. Thank You all from the bottom of my heart and with every ounce of my soul, for helping me through some Of my darkest days here on earth. Take care all, and keep fighting. Love
