3 days without gambling, and I am doing ok so far, I feel a bit twitchy when I see an advert, or receive an email, but so far the realisation of the losses has kept me from slipping back in. I keep going through all the things I could have spent that money on, a holiday, Christmas presents, a car… so many things down the drain. But, I know I have to accept that, the money is gone, I am never getting it back, and it is pointless chasing losses in the hope of a big win, it’s never going to happen. We all know who the real winners are in this situation, and it sure as hell ain’t us. Trying to find different things to occupy my down time, have downloaded an app in order to learn another language, have puzzle books at the ready, reading, have been for a run. Keep on going, what choice do I have?
Thank you, it is scary but not as scary as the alternative.
