It’ true good people can make poor choices that result in bad decisions that impact our lives on a grand scale. That is what gambling gives us and nothing more. Gambling shatters our hopes and dreams and just makes life in general difficult.
When the urge hits read your thread or read all of our threads and open your eyes to the real reality of the gifts and rewards of gambling. There just isn’t any way that life is made easier or happier when we gamble. The truth is that living normal lives is all but impossible if we don’t quit .
I am finally seeing that for myself because I am able to go through life without making excuses or looking for excuses to gamble. I am done racking my brain after a huge lose to find a way to get out of it. I prefer the peace that comes from not having the worry anymore. It does take time to find that peace so that is why you must tie up all access to money while you let your brain calm down and let normal return.
It’s been just about 5 months now that I haven’t gambled and for about a month very few urges and few thoughts are taking up space in my newly rewired brain. Maybe due to the hypnosis, but at any rate all is better than it has been for 15 years I would say. I don’t want to give that feeling up and either should you. Give life all the energy we gave to gambling and there will be nothing you can’t accomplish. FG
