    Hi. Sorry about if you did not get enough support before. I read only when I have extra time when I do not work on myself. I would say that I understand your thoughts and how gambling effect your mental and physical. I thought I could control it by myself and that If I just win a few hundred in a day. It would be enough and I can control it. But addiction is tricky. A lot of people here including me , We know that we should stop when we reach to that win we limit it to ourselves but when we reach it, We always feel like we can win a little bit more. Just a little more. Then everything becomes blurry. At least to me , I ended up with a big pile of debt after that.

    What I am saying is , Be careful. If you can control and limit yourself. Good but please remember that you might not be able to. I do not want you to end up with a big pile of debts like a lot of us here.
    Good luck!

    This week is pretty calm. I am more busy with work and life in general that I do not have a lot of time to think about gambling. Though a lot of time I think about what it did to me. I’ve been in the treatment for 5 weeks now. Right now we are doing the behavior exercises in different kind of situation that I put myself into. I identified my triggers and work through it by directing my brain to choose different path than gambling when my brain get triggered. I am still doing a very easy ones for now and even though I feels it is easy. I know that the most important thing is not to relapse. One relapse can put me directly back where I was. It is a fight everyday for sure. Just some day or some week can be easier or harder than the others. I have had an easy week this time. So we will see what is next.

    2 more days I will be 60 days gambling free. I work very hard everyday since the day i decided to quit and I hope I can continue to be in this direction forever.

    It has been over a week since I last posted. Nothing much to update really. Everyday is a fight as usual. I felt better about the scared I had about the person near my house jumped off the cliff. I appreciate the air that I am breathing in and I am happy that I am alive. Got a paycheck in the account yesterday. I don’t have any urges like I want to play. Maybe a little bit but the guilt and shame that it cause me from my big pile of debt only make me feels bad. I saw the money in the accounts and how much I have to pay the bills. I feels really sad that this will be my life for a long while. But what can you do except accepting it and try to survive everyday without digging a deeper hole to yourself.

    I am lucky enough that I have a partner and a best friend who are supporting me through this. Knowing that they know about my addiction helps me to stay straight forward better. I am still in the treatment program. Now I have a small exercise to do everyday. It’s quite hard to not thinking about the big win I have had but It is getting easier to tell myself how stupid those thoughts are.
