That’s exactly my logic when I’m gambling. Thanks for pointing that out

Enjoying work more knowing that what I earn is not going to be lost to gambling

I might take a look. It sounds interesting. It sounds like a good idea. Hopefully some of the activities involved will be free. Money is a problem for me right now. I’m back at work tomorrow, so that will keep me occupied for the next 5 days.
I hope to discover who I am soon

Please post on the being positive feed
The reason I say this is once you post, you will get alerts from other people’s posts. Fritz posted early hours this morning and it was so nice to wake up.. Have a look at me emails and see others positive words/ thinking. I feel really good about today because of it. It may help you. It will certainly give you reasons not to gamble.

It’s beautiful outside today. I can smile because the sun is out.

I can engage with my children better

I can have dinner with my partner without planning my next bet in my mind

What an awsome and encouraging post. I look forward to reading the rest when you have time.

No need to lie to others or ourselves

I’m addicted to playing games full stop. So running out of lives on candy crush is a major trigger for me. And I’ve become an isolated person because of gaming..

[butchugly]

I will be able to buy myself things..

Others input would be much appreciate

I don’t know if this will help you or not, but I’ve gone cold turkey on all gaming. Because I need to learn to do other things. As I have lost most ability to do whatever I was doing pregambling and computers. It’s a weird feeling and you won’t know how addicted you are until you try giving it up. Just food for thought. I realise we are all different, just thought I would share

I think the last time I prayed, it was to beg To Win! I have become so wrapped up in it all.. I forgot the most important thing.. God
Thanks kin

I’ll start, I hope this carries on. I know it will help me.. Pretty sure it will help others too

I will be able to wake up in the morning and not feel panic over what I did the night before.

It was interesting and slightly emotional. I feel like I’ve been on a major emotional roller coaster over the past few weeks. The regret and guilt is still there but it’s not consuming me hour by hour. My moods are up and down throughout each day, but I do manage to find some positives. Positive note #1 from me and for anyone else who may be struggling and reads this… I am learning to appreciate things more through this battle. #2 when I overcome this, I will be a new person… (That’s a good thing, because I didn’t really like who I was before gambling and I don’t like who I am now). #3 I won’t live a lonely life in years to come because I will have learned to re-socialise with friends and family. There are many more positive notes to come. Infact I might start a new feed just for everyone to put positive notes/messages. Any opinions??

That is probably where my addiction lies. Hence not playing anything.

[butchugly]

Have been able to watch the TV and actually relax. Always used to play games while watching tv. Not just necessarily gambling but free games such as candy crush. At present, I can’t play any games as I have discovered recently that I have to break this routine of gaming all together. It’s been tough. I won’t lie. But today has been ok. Moods are still up and down and still struggling to get past what I’ve done to myself but hey ho. If it was easy, there wouldn’t be any lessons to lear right? If it was easy, I wouldn’t really have a problem right? Perhaps if it was easy, I wouldn’t have ever got drawn into this in the first place right?
