Hey Ray,
I know it’s tough right now mentally but it’s good to see that you’ve taken some active steps to take up other hobbies and self-improving activities. The memories and reliving of those nightmarish moments will be common at this stage but the longer you stay away from gambling and engage in other healthier activities, the less common they will be become.
I’m doing alright Ray. I did also have a gambling dream a few nights though (a bad one too, I had lost big time and was stressing out big time – woke up in a panic and felt a huge relief it wasn’t real). It was a strange one too as I’d not really have gambling related dreams even at the peak of my addiction before. Luckily the dream did not translate into actual urges
