Losing a loved one is a hard thing to do. Thankfully I was not gambling. I was not in another world where my life revolved around wins and losses and debt and lies and deceit. I missed out on being there for friends and family during important times before because every cent, ever effort, every fiber of my being was invested in my addiction.
All of my positive steps of the last year have added up and added to the 5 and a half year abstinence I had previously. I was able to travel and be with my family during this difficult time. To offer support and receive. My connections with my loved ones are more satisfying than any win.
Today I will be gamble free. Glad to be back on the forum and will be catching up. Take care friends! I’ll try and be at the 10pm London time group. Hope you are doing well.
