    Hi Cat congratulations 6 months is wonderful!! I am working toward having a gamble free life too. I got so sick of relapsing over the years but simply could not stop no matter what i did. Hoping this time i can hang in there and change my life to a gamble free one without relapse. I dont feel i can be in recovery and still relapse all the time. If there is not much time between each relapse then i am definately not in recovery. So i am aiming for life now too and of course one day at a time. There is not much need to ***** time is there when we are aiming for life haha… Just so long as we dont start again then it can be life.

    Hi thank you Cat, RG and Carole!
    Cat glad to see you posting again and RG keep going you are doing great. Carole i was so happy to see you have come back. Yipppeee. I am still going well though it has been extremely difficult some days. I hear some people say that its quite easy and they dont fight well i am not at that stage yet though i know if i continue it will get easier. Some days i have been absolutely certain i wont make it. Some days i have actually gone to gamble and i cannot explain the mental madness that goes on in my head but i have turned the car round or gone somewhere else, usually to my next meeting available. I get a lot of strength from GA. I have met some really nice people. The daily fight is there though, it continues and I am doing my all to just keep finding that surrender. not so easy some days in this head of mine. I am my own worst enemy and my own best friend. Thankfully hanging in there, i dont know if i will make this, i hope to. I am for now and thats a miracle. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Cat
    I was glad to see this post from you.. I am glad to read you are Six months, sorry to hear you are having urges. I have them all the time. I hear people say they don’t get urges and I wonder how they do it and why they don’t leave me. What I do know is they are only thoughts. They are not harmful unless I act on them. You have done great, I know exactly what you mean about the days. I forget the pain almost instantly. I can’t recall it, I can see it in my mind but there is no feeling with it. So I have to trust that when it comes to my thoughts about gambling they are not sane.
    I have relapsed sooooo many ***** that I too am fearful of going back. We don’t have to, so long as we keep doing what we are doing just for this day. You are doing so well Cat..
