Hey Wayne,
What are you up to? Lets talk.
Jon
Jonny123987ParticipantYou There Wayne?
Jonny123987ParticipantHappier today for sure. My back is feeling better and I haven’t gambled the money I have in my checking account. Game on life!
Jonny123987ParticipantHey Wayne,
How did your day go?
Jon
Jonny123987ParticipantHey Wayne,
How did your day go?
Jon
Jonny123987ParticipantGood Job Jay!
Jonny123987ParticipantHey Wayne,
Glad to hear you’re up early and got yourself together. I’m currently stretching before hitting the sack. I’m going to get my back and calf fixed one way or another.
My brother sent me this earlier and I loved it. Check it out.
Jonny123987ParticipantThanks Brendan, I appreciate the insight. I did my research too and believe I may have saw the same study. If it’s the dame one I watched it shows that after some time our brains actually change due to gambling. This is scary for sure but It is what it is.
All I can do is stop. I had one urge today but just said to myself I know how that ill turn out and just let it pass.
Much love,
JonJonny123987ParticipantHi Charles,
I’m not gambling today. That is my main focus for the moment. I talked to family members about helping me. Not sure that is an option at the moment. I have stopped gambling for 100 days in the past and will again. I’m not going to gamble ever again. I’m done. I accept that I can’t win or if I can that I won;t leave until it’s gone. I understand who and what I am when it comes to gambling. Gambling is a loser. If I gamble so am I.
Jon
Jonny123987ParticipantHey Wayne,
My best friend committed suicide 4 months ago. He shot himself after talking about it for a year. He was an amazing guy and had so much to live for. He just didn’t/couldn’t see past his problems. I really hope that you stop talking about that as a feasible option. That’s the cowards way out. We both have to man up. Stop being foolish. Take on life like we are reborn and today is the first day of the rest of our lives.
I watched Dr Strange this last week. If you haven;t seen it check it out on putlocker. The dude looses everything he has worked his entire life for. He needs to reinvent himself. He seeks a higher teaching to achieve this. Once he begins on this new journey we quickly forget about his old trials and tribulations. This is our life. We gambled for 20 years and now have to start over. Lets forget the past and be stoked we are still here today to pursue another day.
This is day 1 of our new life. We will look back at this day years from now and not laugh. But be thankful for it. Without a day one we can’t have day 2, and day 3.
Be strong Wayne. Don’t allow weakness and negativity conquer you and neither will I.
Jon
Jonny123987ParticipantWe are both overwhelmed by it. We both have things to be disappointed about. But today is all about not gambling. We will both not gamble today. Things will get better. Positive thoughts about the future. No more negative about the past. I could of and would of are in the past. There is only the now, today, and hopefully a tomorrow but I need to get through today first. 🙂
Much love,
JonJonny123987ParticipantI just deposited $1200 into my bank account. So I do actually have a little cash. I owe about 20K to credit cards at the moment. I will not gamble today. That’s all I’m working on. I will not gamble today! One day at a time.
I’m sorry your chest is hurting you brother. I did some breathing techniques yesterday and stretched a bit. It felt good to just do something for me. Maybe you could try that for a few minutes?
Jon
Jonny123987ParticipantYou will not have any physical withdrawals from gambling. I’ve quit a few times. The first few days are the hardest, then it will slowly start feeling better. We definitely need to put distance between ourselves and that last bet. I’ve gambled my life away and just want to try to get it back. The only way for that to happen is not do what I’ve been doing for over 20 years that has proven to not work.
If gambling worked you and I would be much better off right now given our 20 year run. If it was good for us would we be sitting here talking about it? My guess is no.
Sincerely,
JonJonny123987ParticipantHey Wayne,
I too am going through some tough times. Today is day 2 for me. I’ve been gambling over 20 years. This is a crappy disease. Lets do this together. Day 2 for me. One day at a time.
Jon
Jonny123987ParticipantIt’s such a strange disease. I have been doing it for over 20 years now. I had the best times in my life this last year when I wasn’t gambling. It’s weird to me that I know I felt best then and had the best time in my life. But yet continue down a road of destruction. And for what? Some money that doesn’t change anything once you do have it.
