Thats what Im talking about! You are on fire. Just keep that intensity up. This is a war! Thanks for your inspiration!

Thanks for you inspiration. I am new to here and hit bottom about a week ago. It has been awful. I am now trying move forward. You are a leader towards recovery for others. I now realize I have a sickness and need as much help as I can. Here is a salute to you! Keep it up. We all deserve so much better.

Fantastic Luv2...

It's so inspiring to see posts like yours...I can feel the energy of your conviction coming through my keyboard. Awesome Job, young man-keep that positive force alive. My little quote right under my "I"m Feeling" smiley faces for now is this:

"I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart"

I can tell you are too, with every fiber of your being! What a great start...keep that same intensity every step along the way...you'll go very, very far and have a wonderfully rich and rewarding life.

Be well, be Strong, Luv2!

You are on the right track and I admire you for your courage and strength. I know it's not easy...it's just worth it. Keep up the good work!!

Hi LuvtoTravel,
That's awesome, anything is possible when you put your mind to it!!
Also you want to do it, you want to change your life, and you are!!!
Its been since mid-April for me, and I'm still trying to catch up financially, however the fact that I'm catching up mentally to my life means everything to mean - the more time that passes the easier it becomes to live gambling free. I won't lie and say I have had no thoughts, but much less than I thought I would. I have so much else to focus on and yes I need to take care of me, etc. however what has made my life and world more fulfilling is having others be part of it!! Gambling had made me a loner, I wanted to be alone so much more, and that's not healthy - love breeds love, happiness breeds happiness, and so on....being lonely and isolated due to the gambling had made me so unhappy and it brought on more negative thoughts - I feel free!! I have a way to go, however know so many of us can do it!! Congrats to you as well!
Best,
Niki

Hey, very proud to hear of your story.

I know 15 days may not seem much in the whole scheme of things, but it is a LOT to other CGs who struggle everyday. You should be proud, and don't let up!!!

Words of true encouragement...thank you for sharing. I look forward to my 15 days in 13 :) Keep it up!!

Way to go! I am so proud of you! I can tell by your tone you can do this! Keep coming here and update us as you go! It's good to see! Life is so short and gambling sucks the life right out of us! Keep fighting!
