GREAT JOB! Every day that you dont gamble or drink will make it easier to break the cycle. You didn’t get into this mess all at once so it will take time to get out. Make a calendar with a weekly goal to start and cross off each day as you finish. Make it visible that you have done something as well as NOT done something. Everyday that I wake I know from the instant I open my eyes if I have done well the day before. If not, I don’t want to get up. I dont want to face the day. If I have, like today, then I am up and ready to face the day with life and hope. Dont always make this about what you’re not doing but make this about what you have done – treated yourself with love and respect and stopped the cycle for one more day. Keep strong and we wait to hear about your new day.
