    50 days clean!!!

    What can I tell you, I finally payed my father. No more weddings, so I am paying little by little!

    Yesterday I ate with a girl from the job that I like. I hope I can be in a relationship with her. She is really nice to me.

    Well, I have bee nbusy.

    I went to the wedding, and my date asked me for money. I just gave her 25 dolars.

    The wedding was funny, but it was a big expense. I hope I dont get invited to a wedding soon.

    44 days clean, my second longest streak in this year.

    Everything is fine, except that my cousin does not pay me.

    We will try to talk to his mother next week.

    Thanks for reading everyone!
    Love you all!

    Well, It’s been a while without posting. I am OK, but I have been busy. The wedding is next saturday. I am glad it is coming because i will rest for social commitments and expenses for a while. This whole wedding made me spend 1000 dollars (one month of salary) and i am not the one who gets married!

    Jajajaja. I am trying to solve the problem about my cousin owing me 100 bucks. Apparently I will switch job until december, but lets see. I am also taking a second job to improve my finances quicker, this job is occasional and i don’t earn much money, but at least is something.

    I changed my date for the wedding and have a new one.

    Thanks everyone for you support, I have been busy and hadn’t had the time to post here.

    Hey man! I read your story. You kow, I used to be a sports gambler . I am 29 and I am 24 days gambling free.

    The only advice I can give you is: stop gambling, continue clean.

    We don´t need this sh**t of gambling in our lives. It just destroys us and isolate us from everything we love.

    I send you a hug man.

    And you are right, thinking as a non gambler helps you to stop. Sometimes I use to think like…My mom or a friend, what would they say if they saw me gambling my salary? They would say I am nuts. So lets behave like a non gambler.

    As you say, debt will finish eventually, actually it was diminishing before my last relapse back on July.

    Difficult day. The Mexico Argentina game came out, and since I am Mexican and I admire Messi, it was almost a fact that I would watch the game. I watched it, and fortunately I did not gamble.

    But lets be honest, my mind thought abut gambling. What stopped me from gambling? I think it was thinking about who I have become in this 23 days clean.

    What made me think about gambling again? The fact that I spent money on my vacation that was out of my budget.

    I even thought of the bet I would place. And you know what? I would have lost all my money. I thought about betting that the first half would have less than 3 goals. You know what happened? 4 goals were scored in the first half.

    I am really grateful that I did not relapse. Money should come with time, just with that.

    Well, I am back from my trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  As some of you know I exceeded my budget on nightclubs and stripclubs, but it was one of my best friends bachelor party. So it was once in a lifetime. I could not tell you I didn´t enjoy it. There was a casino near the hotel, but we didn´t go. The sensation was different from speding money gambling to spending it on partying with my friends. Because with gambling I could say: I lost money and time, but literally lost. With partying, I enjoyed it with my friends. Anyway, I enjoyed the trip. I have no gambling desires and one week more and I will be a month clean

    Well, I will travel on Friday. Bachelor single party. The trip will be to Puerto Vallarta beach, Mexico.

    I am excited but also a little scared. Flying is not my best friend. Fortunately the flight will be 90 minutes. A short flight.

    I love this life as a non gambler. Yesterday I watched Roger Federer, and It was a match I watched without gambling. I was nervous because Federe lost, but nothing compared to the gambling days.

    Every day, little by little i will continue with this recovery.

    I will be back on Sunday. See you then.

    I hope your life gets better . I have to admitt that I also was ashamed of my gambling.

    I agree that compulsive gambling is related to stomach problems. The feeling of losing all your money in some minutes caused me to go to the bathroom to fart, or to poo in the bathroom.

    Hopefully those times are in my past

    This is great!

    One of the best thing about stop gambling is that we can retake our life and continue with it
