First of all congrats on your 16 days!
Yes, I went this thinking period. When your mind gets clearer post gambling, you begin to make the links. I look back and see my failure to get promotion at work, my pretty patchy lovelife, my continued tiredness were all linked to my gambling.
But if you think of things in another way – you can celebrate the fact that you have worked all these things out and that they can be another barrier to continuing gambling.
The other thing is that you have plenty of time left – so stopping gambling will mean that you can get your finances in order, you can do all the things you want to do. All that is now in your control, now you know what the problem is.
A slight word of warning – beware of moving from one addiction to another. I can understand using weed as a prop whilst you are in withdrawal from gambling, but you probably don’t need me to tell you that long term use can be problematic. Not only can it be expensive in itself, but it can dull ambition and cause some health problems with long-term heavy usage. Keep well.
