Another work week has come and gone for me and i have not stopped to buy any lottery tickets. I am happy I can say that. Other things that have helped me stay gamble free when I first stopped doing the slot machines was talking with like minded people. People who had been where I was and understood me. Without those people i would have never made it. I also had to change my outlook on life it was very bleak in the beginning. But as days turned to weeks and then months, things began to become brighter. I took me a long time to get where i am today but i am in a much better place now. Even though i have struggled from time to time since my first time in recovery back in 2005. Reading literature about gambling addiction and how to stop was also helpful. I really took to gamblers anonymous in the beginning. But not all recovery tools work for everyone. You take what you need and leave the rest I have been told. I will post more of what has helped me in future posts.

Hi

I haven’t posted to you for a long time but I felt I had to write to say how much joy it brings me to read your post.

I know it isn’t easy to learn to control such a pernicious demon but every time I read that another member has kicked the demon in the teeth, it makes the world a whole load brighter.

I look forward to your future posts

Velvet
