I appreciate all of you sharing your stories. It’s day 8 for me without gambling. I was tempted today and yesterday but so far so good. I look forward to not seeing withdrawals in my bank account and seeing the balances go down on my credit cards. These forums really do help. No GA meetings near me. I’ve been using the SMART Recovery workbook also along with these forums. Helps to know your triggers and to ride them through. My two addictions go together – smoking and gambling. I don’t smoke unless I’m gambling so I have two cravings at once. So, 8 days without a cigarette also.Will check out the Allen Carr book.
Hi Lydian. Good step. I try to remind myself that the only way to win at gambling is to not play. Most of us eventually play back what we win anyway. So, why bother?
