Hi Zero,
Perhaps you would consider applying for the Gordon Moody short residential. It is four days and could change your life. It is so hard to stop gambling and stay stopped without intensive support.

Life will get better – and you can stop gambling !

Hi Ady
Hope you had a great Christmas !

Thank you Kathryn
It is so good to hear from you!

Today I am 16 weeks gamble-free. I feel so relaxed and content. I had a late breakfast and then watched a silly animated movie with family! It is so nice to be able to relax and not have the relentless wins, losses and counting money churning around my head.

I find myself searching through Groupon and other such sites checking out offers for skin rejuvenation treatments . This may sound trivial to others but is a sure sign “I’m back”!
Four months ago my skin was the least of my worries. Wrinkles are a much nicer focus than gambling losses ! Lol !

This has been the best Christmas I remember for years. One family member was extremely badly behaved but I didn’t take it personally or ruminate on it. I realise I can only be responsible for me. It didn’t spoil a minute of my holiday.

I can’t quite comprehend that the capacity to feel like this was hidden deeply within me. I am feeling deeply blessed and incredibly humbled by the amount of help I have received from so many people.

Ken det här är så bra! Ibland tycker jag att fokus på att sluta spela är helt enormt och att vi glömmer att även långsiktiga slutare måste fokusera på att sluta varje dag! Tack för att du delar.

Ken, isso é tão bom! Às vezes eu acho que o foco em parar de jogar é absolutamente enorme e que esquecemos que mesmo os que desistem de longo prazo devem se concentrar em parar todos os dias! Obrigado por compartilhar.

Кен, это так хорошо! Иногда я нахожу, что стремление бросить азартные игры очень велико, и что мы забываем, что даже те, кто давно бросил курить, должны сосредоточиваться на прекращении азартных игр каждый день! Спасибо, что поделились.

Can bu çok iyi! Bazen kumarı bırakmaya odaklanmanın kesinlikle çok büyük olduğunu düşünüyorum ve uzun vadeli bırakanların bile her gün bırakmaya odaklanması gerektiğini unutuyoruz! Paylaşım için teşekkürler.

Ken this is so good! Sometimes I find the focus on stopping gambling is absolutely huge and that we forget that even long term quitters must focus on stopping every day!
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your post Seanraj.

I woke this morning with a new feeling – a feeling of complete satisfaction as I reflect on the most wonderful Christmas Day. I worked so hard to get my home up to scratch(no mean feat) and everything was quite perfect.

I cannot help but notice the huge difference not gambling has made to my Christmas – lovely presents bought for everyone – I enjoyed the expressions on their faces as they were surprised at just the little bit extra that went into them, both in terms of cash and thought. Gambling left little time for thinking about presents and barely enough cash to buy the cheapest gifts.

A huge amount of effort and time also went into preparing my home. It is a delight to go down stairs and see the fruits of my labour . Gambling left little time for cleaning!

I guess the greatest reward is the joy of my family – the best present I gave them this year was being present.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey to a gamble free life – I am so appreciate everything you have all done for me and wish you all an amazing 2020!

Hi Manjikot
A huge congratulations on your gamble free time. I hope you are looking forward to a wonderful gamble -free new Year. It is really helpful when people share what has worked for them; and it seems everyone has their own path to recovery.

You are reaping the rewards of your honesty with your wife and your absolute determination to do whatever it takes , no matter how uncomfortable, to live a gamble free life.

I hope you have the most wonderful 2020!

Steev
Your post made me feel so sad for the little child who just wanted a happy Christmas but whose parents were unable to provide such an experience. I hope you enjoyed Christmas.

The striking thing for me about your post is that despite not having the best Christmas yourself you quickly make it less about you and all about helping others- you have nailed the real meaning of Christmas and I guess the essence of Steev.

Wishing you the happiest New Year with Good health to enjoy your travels..
