Re: My last ‘Last Day One’
Hey @Under the rug
I’m onto day 73 today. Feeling superb. The days have been just coming and going.
Honestly I feel even better than last year...Last year I went 250+ days without gambling but it was a constant battle.
So far I’m not even really thinking about gambling. In fact, I’m not even thinking about not gambling. None of this is even on my mind...
I have been feeling down for other reasons though, struggling with food consumption, I don’t binge, but I also don’t eat the right foods. Been a bit of a battle there lol.
Also had family problems too.
I just try my best not to turn back to my old life you know. I don’t want to turn to gambling as a form of comfort or escapism from reality. Like if something bad happens, I don’t want my first reaction to be running to the TAB and putting my pay through the sports betting. It’s so stupid. I can’t use gambling as a coping mechanism...
Anyway, I hope you are well!
All the best mate

Re: My last ‘Last Day One’
Good to hear, I am the same at the moment. The last few weeks have flown by but it’s only getting easier. I have just been using other distractions. Good to hear you are on track. Hope your other issues work themselves out too.
