    Great Job FM, 25 days is something to be proud of, I’m on day 9. I hope by 25 I’m back to semi normal again.

    Tom,

    Stay strong, stay committed, put up those barriers, seek out support. In 3 years you will be out of this and only 31 years old and I’m certain you can take steps to make it less than 3 years if you so choose. You have your whole life in front of you, just put down the shovel and stop digging, you can do this.

    Great to hear but please do yourself a favor and ban from all states within driving distance. All is great now but at some point there will be that stress and/or trigger. If you felt you needed to ban from home state, just do it and ban from out of state.

    Приятно слышать, но, пожалуйста, сделайте себе одолжение и запретите поездку во все штаты. Сейчас все отлично, но в какой-то момент будет стресс и / или спусковой крючок. Если вы почувствовали, что вам нужно запретить въезд в штат, просто сделайте это и запретите выезд из другого штата.

    If you get a chance come into group today in 2 hours. I went there for the first time a few days ago and was very helpful.

    Wow do I know the feeling of “angry” and “on the edge”. I was having a good day today and then all of the sudden snapped and yelled at my son, and then felt bad. As others on this forum have pointed out to me, Gambling takes much more than just money, it robs your character as well Good luck to all of us.

    Time to break the cycle Mark. You have a long time to live to make up for your past. You can do it. One day at a time. Chat on the helpline here, it really helped here. Make the decision that it’s not your money anymore, it’s the casinos money and you don’t get it back. Keep journaling, it helps.

    Part of me thinks you never want to truly forget, you just want to forgive yourself and not let it happen again. At least that is the way I’m trying to look at it.

    I pray you and your husband can get through this…and also to Deb. Money will come and go, I hope both the husbands can get help and get clean and save their families.

    Do you feel “kinda” normal yet? I’m on day 4, I hope by day 20, I feel “okay” again.
