I was raised saying the Lord’s Prayer, that was long before my gambling days.
I was asked “what is the Serenity Prayer,” I was providing an answer to the question.

[Cruising247]

Good morning,
Praying that this pray will help you as much as it has helped me.

“God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and
Wisdom to know the difference.”

Day 42 Gamble Free
One day at a time….

Day 40
Just a trucking along, taking it one day at a time.
When I look back 41 days ago, I was a mess, I couldn’t believe that I had blown that hat much money in such a short period of time.
But, here I am 40 days later still gamble Free.
Feeling Thankful.

Day 39.
Just taking it one day at a time….

Hello

It’s hard to answer your question because I honestly have not been getting bad urges to go, I just think about it sometimes. There was a time I would get so agitated if I couldn’t go daily, but I haven’t been getting that since week one of stopping. That first week I prayed A LOT, and sincerely repeated the Serenity Prayer. I did whatever it took to keep from caving in. I would turn my focus to something else.
I think the other thing is this isn’t my first attempt to stop, this time I didn’t allow myself to get as far in the hole financially. Being wayyy in the hole is what brings on that depression and suicidal thoughts.

Day 38 Gamble Free
I am a “recovering” compulsive gambler.
One day at a time!

Day 36 Gamble Free
I know it’s nothing but the grace of God that has kept me this far, gamble free. I feel like I just started this new journey of being gamble free yesterday and I’m already on day 36. Praying things continue to go this smooth. I won’t lie I still think about gambling, but haven’t had any over powering urges.

[Cruising247]

That is why we are all here, to give and receive motivation from each other. I am so happy to hear that you didn’t go.
You got this!
One day at a time….

Happy Birthday to me today!!!
Day 36 Gamble Free

Nothing new to talk about, daily check-in is my way of staying accountable.

[Cruising247]

Thank you Kin!

I returned to my forum page on Day 27, I am on Day 35 gamble Free.

One day at a time!
Thanks again

Oh my, this is my story. I am on day 35 game free. I am a “recovering compulsive gambler.
Do not give in, keep that $200 in that drawer. It is something about when you are down to your last, that is when you lose everything (it will not let you win). So, please don’t give in.
You got this, find something else to occupy your mind/thoughts. I have been in your place more than I care to remember.
Hang in there….YOU CAN DO THIS…

Hi
Congrats on reaching 90 days.

[Cruising247]

Day 35
Hanging in there.
In another week I’ll be home for 2 weeks, it’s a little frightening because usually when I have that much down time that was when I would spend all my day gambling.
I can only exercise for so long in a day, I am a loner by chose; so I need to find something to do to keep my mind off getting bored and gambling. My daughter will be home a few days for Christmas, and she don’t like gambling or don’t like me gambling, do I’m good for those few days….
I’m not going to start stressing over a relapse, because it’s not going to be one, I got this.
“One day at a time.”,???

[Cruising247]

Hi
It seems like just yesterday when you said you were on day 2, and you have already made it to day 7.
I am sooo happy for you. You got this….
“One day at a time.”

[Cruising247]

Good Afternoon, not much to talk about, just checking in.

I’m on day 34, I am getting ready for an early dinner with the hubby. He doesn’t gamble, so I’m 110% sure I’ll make it one more day.

“One Day at a Time!”
