The risk is always there, but I think things are going ok. I´m 8 weeks gambling free tomorrow, and only 6 days away from 2 months, the 17th of May – Norway´s national day of independence! A good day to celebrate my own independence. ´Cause that´s it: I´m in a separation process with an urge that´s been sabotaging parts of my life for 20 years. And that is an important reminder too: I have LIVED for the last 20 years even though it´s been compromised by my gambling. A great part of it has been a rich and happy life, with lots of friends, family, education, fun and growth. And I want more of that. Maybe my own destructive powers can be a source of developement and insight when I get control over it. After all, we´re all struggling in life, in our individual ways. Maybe we should compare less, and just try to rise in our own battles.
