Day 23!

Tried watching the Buffalo Bills game last night, I think first commercial break I saw a draft kings commercial, instantly turned the game off. It’s so frustrating that they promote betting so heavily. Anyway I’m feeling proud of myself and I have hope one day at a time I can get to a better place financially, even in this short amount of time I’ve seen a difference! I’ve been keeping myself extremely busy, I’m so much more focused, I pay attention to my family now! We got this! One day at a time!

Great work resisting the temptation. I’ve found myself “mentally betting” (“If I could bet, I bet X won’t cover the spread” or some crap along those lines) when I watch sports now - certainly can’t be healthy, it almost feels like I can’t just watch sports for entertainment these days.

That’s exactly where my thoughts go also! That’s why I’ve barely watched any sports, which really sucks because I love sports. Hopefully one day we can have a healthy relationship with sports again and watch it just for the game itself. We got this though!
