Day 5 – No gambling. Yesterday suddenly I felt like I wanted to gamble for a while and win some money… immediately got the awareness and did something else to divert my attention. I was looking to see if there are any GA meetings available… after a while, the feeling went away..

Thanks johnstein. I have started my GF life last week as well.

It is day 4. I didn’t gamble yesterday. I didn’t gamble today and I’m not gonna gamble tomorrow.

I am Mohan, a compulsive gambler. I have started gambling 7 years ago and nothing good happened since then. I had survived all these 7 years just to gamble. I had been obsessed with it.

I have started my recovery last year. There were a couple of relapses in my journey to be a non-gambler but I am not willing to give up. I have been attending GA meetings and they are really helping me. One of the gentlemen rightly said it is an illness. It opened my eyes. I am the kind of guy who suddenly thinks I can be a normal gambler and I would be able to stop at will. looks like it doesn’t work that way. I can never be a normal gambler. I am a compulsive gambler and I should never place the first bet.

Hope to hear your story as well.
