I also had a period last year for 3 months where I didn’t gamble. In that period I learned to run, train properly and managed to lose 12kg and run a marathon after 3 months of training. Not only this but my debts were soaring off my list and my wife was even happier and getting into training as well and we were all happy. I guess what I’m trying to say is when you give positive energy around you, then everyone will follow and it’s the same with negative. This is one reason we should avoid hurting our loved ones as much as possible because they are part of the addiction too. We need to think like leaders of the pack and where we go…. the pack goes. So I am similar to you in the fact that I’ve stumbled in the past 4 weeks again and I’ve managed to gamble what we recovered from debt + more so we’re in an even worst spot. However my parents are now aware (Before it was only my wife) and I’ve finally started going to GA so I’m thinking very positive this time around and feel like I’ve got all the tools I need to quit. Aslong as we never gamble again, the debts actually don’t mean much. I’m happy and I’m sure you are too to pay off all our debts as long as we know we’re never going to gamble again. Let’s try make that our mission and keep everyone around us happy. Best of luck with your journey!
