I know when I was first trying to stop – I focused on the “not doing.” Not gambling, not going to the pub, not worrying, not thinking about my losses.
It was hard for me – because life seemed so empty when I wasn’t doing these things. I started to journal and it was from then that I realised that I needed to fill my time and my thoughts with other more positive things. So I tried various things out that I thought I might be interested in. Some didn’t work (chess, drawing classes) some worked better than I thought (jive dancing and my great love – simply walking in nature.)
I think not knowing what you want from life is a great opportunity to try things out. At the moment when we can’t go anywhere – we can try things on-line to see if they might be something to do when the world starts working again.
Keeping a journal where you make a note of things that interest you could be a starting point – as could counselling (online for now) and joining other support groups.
Congrats on your positivity and I hope things go well for you.
