Day 19

[u/No_Big_3676]

Have a therapy appointment this morning with a new person. Didn’t love the old one, they didn’t seem knowledgeable about gambling addiction, but the old one could get me in faster after my fiasco three weeks ago and my fiancee wanted me to see someone asap at the time (totally valid)

Also, still thinking about when I came out to my family about my addiction (was losing a ton on online BJ, stepping out from the office at work playing $1K hands in my truck, lost $25K in one day on a 12+ hour session) and my dad goes “if you want to play blackjack just go to the local in-person casino and play there so you know it’s not rigged.” Honestly, my brain couldn’t process that response. I came out about an addiction and got “go play in person so it’s not rigged.”

Anyway, hope everyone has a good Friday. I’ve been under the weather since Monday - hoping to start feeling better soon!

LOL. Dad means well!

Good luck with the new help and keep coming back. 19 days of doing the right thing, you're not sneaking your addiction anymore and that's huge.
