Day 35 Gamble free. 1 Day at a time. Some days are easier then others and some are hard. But nothing worth anything should be easy to obtain.

One day at a time CL. I too have gambled for a ling time and for more money than most. I can relate to you and empathize with your situation. Being a gambling addict sucks. No two ways about it. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I have the magic secret that makes things better because I don’t. All I can say is that you can stop if you choose too. Stopping will not make you feel great. You won’t magically have the money back. All you can get back is you. It sounds like it’s time to stop fighting for the money, and start fighting for you. The you that is stronger than the urge to gamble. I hope you get what I’m trying to tell you. The money is gone…. You have to just let it go. It’s extremely hard. You are still here, therefore the only thing not gambling will win you is yourself back. And that’s pretty great. Once you regain who you are without gambling the rest will come back into place with time. It all starts with you brother. I hope that helps a little. 🙂

Is gambling still fun for you?

[Jonny123987]

Thanks everyone. It hasn’t been easy. Dealing with nerve damage is definitely tough. Day 32 of gamble free.

Not gambling is the only answer.

Thanks,
Jon

Hey I Can Do this,

What happened? Why are you so down?

Best,
Jon

Thanks Jay Kay! I hope you are well too. I may be getting a big promotion which is exciting. Positive energy is the best thing ever. I’m slowly feeling better from the back surgery. Nerve damage is a bitch though. The weird thing is that I don;t have any major urges to gamble anymore. At least not for the last few days… I know I’m a gambling addict but am feeling a little better about things. My debts are slowly coming down and having support behind me like my mom has really been a godsend. I’m very grateful that I have 30 days gamble free at this point. One day at a time is the motto.

I hope everyone else on this site is doing well!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for reaching out to me. Today is day 28 for me if my calculations are correct. I’m happy about it and making strides to pay off my debt and get back into the green. It is going to be a long road but I’m confident I can do it. I hope all of you guys reading this are doing well also.

Thank you all so much for the support you’ve given me.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for reaching out to me. I’m currently in Central America working. I haven’t gambled since my last relapse which was a bout a month ago. Hope everyone else is doing well. It’s hard to get online so I apologize for the delayed responses.

[Jonny123987]

Thanks Mutley! Congrats on your gamble free days. BTW – Where’s our boy Wayne?

[Jonny123987]

Day 20 gamble free. Had one urge over the weekend. All in all feeling pretty good about things. Have been able to pay off some debt. That’s good. Still a long road to go. I’m grateful for many things. Life can be challenging. Trying to stay positive.

How are you doing?

[Jonny123987]

I think you may have misunderstood Charles. I was just saying that to be considered one of the best stock brokers ever you would have a return of 30-40%. Thats the best of the best in history. That’s risking 1 to hopefully win .4 over a years time. Basically I’m saying that if I invested $100 and won $40 in one year I would be considered one of the best of all time. Yet I want to bet $100 and win $100 immediately the same day. If I did that as a stockbroker I would be considered a god and people would think it’s impossible. The idea being that gambling is horribly unsafe, that the numbers we are trying to accomplish are unreasonable. Therefore why even try.

I will not gamble for today. One day at a time.

[Jonny123987]

Sorry to hear about your friend! That’s a bummer. Try to love yourself and respect that friends memory by doing something good and positive for yourself. Show respect to them by giving yourself 5 minutes a day of just good thoughts and positive energy.

Much love.
Jon

Thanks JayKay. Today is day 16. I’m going to go to GA tonight just to keep off the gambling sauce. It’s weird how the farther you get from the last bet the more control you think you have which leads to placing another bet. I have to remember always that if I place one bet I will place another and end up chasing and hating myself. One day at a time.
