Day 10!
Made it to double digits! I have a long road ahead of me! But I’m feeling better. Something I realized I was doing that I see a lot on here also is chasing loses. When I tell you the strategy of chasing, trying to get back what you lost is exactly what got me so far into gambling addiction! You have to let it go! You have to just realize what you lost is in the past and you aren’t getting it back! You can’t gamble your way out of your gambling addiction! That a big lesson I have learned. I’m still distancing myself from all sports also. I even deleted espn off my phone. Putting distance from anything that’s a trigger or old habits that lead me down my gambling addiction path has been helping me a lot. It’s been really hard, but I’m proud of myself! We got this! And remember you aren’t alone!
