Today I have again reached the Two Year Milestone of keeping gambling free of a continuous period — although for me “Today” in itself is a more significant time frame to celebrate, as well as all of the time of my being in recovery and working toward a more better way of thinking and living for the past 5 years. It is a ODAAT process and anniversaries are important in that they give us a good feeling but they also show others that they can be reached.
To those of you that know me from the past, and the new ones here that I have not met, I do hope for a continued recovery in your lives, a continued effort on your part to progress on the journey and to not let any setbacks or ruff goings deter you from achieving your desires of not being controlled by this addiction.
“Recovery is a journey, not a destination” so we can not set our goals on reaching an end, we can only keep on working at improving ourselves ODAAT. And as is mentioned in the Gamblers Anonymous guide, “Be Patient” and work at your program of recovery.
God’s speed. Be strong. Keep aware.
