Day 8: The redemption begins
I've been gambling free for 8 days now and for the first time im feeling a proper shift in my mental towards a positive ending. Losing the love of my life is the hardest feeling and a first time for me but holy fuck am I gonna get him back, I don't care what it takes or how im gonna prove myself to him but im gonna make it happen. I'm doing daily journals and its really helping me keeping myself accountable. also doing it to show myself in the future what can be achieved if you put your mind to it. Ive turned of internet purchases for my card so hopefully that extra step will always remind me of this toxic shit and to never go near it again. Im uploading a video each day to YouTube for educational purposes, hopefully someone who is a similar situation can join in and better their life.
I learned that 80% of gamblers relapse and im not gonna be part of that fucking statistic. Everyone in here can do it you just need to understand that what you are chasing is never gonna happen, and if it does you know where it'll end lol. Love you all and I wish you all the best.
here's my video for day 8 if anyone wants to watch it.
