On the 8th of Dec I started my journey (again) to give up gambling once and for all. It is very safe to say that I have made it 6 months clean. This is such a milestone for me, it really seems like a lifetime ago that I found myself playing the pokies begging the machine for free games as I was onto my last dollar was so ever desperate. Glad that those days are well behind me. I still get urges now and then but they become less and I get stronger. I am so glad to feel “normal: again to not have my mind consumed on pokie machines and money. It is by far now way to live and no way anyone should live their life. If you are reading this and you struggle with this addiction you need to step out and get help. I am proof that it is possible to stop for it to be a thing of the part regardless of how much pain and hurt you have caused. I thought my family would kick me out and my dad would disown me. Have hurt very close friends and family members and our relationships are being restored. Even better and greater then what it was before.
You can do this and you WILL do it!
So thankful and greatful for this day glad to be alive and breathing.
Love you family.Only a fool plays a fools game
