It's almost 12am and that will complete on my first day of gambling-free.
I focused on my "things to do list" in which I included time to pamper/take
care of myself. I went under hypnosis on a cd on Self-Sabotage. Then,
later in the day, I enjoyed the 4th of July fireworks with my partner and dog.
It has been a good day.
I look forward, one day at a time, for abstinence from gambling, increased awareness
of my feelings and most important: increased (actually, build up) self-love.

July 4th...what a great day to begin your freedom from enslavement to gambling! I enjoyed some fireworks as well.
One of the best things about not gambling is healing from self-hatred, shame and remorse from gambling. You will reclaim yourself...and become stronger in the process!
Congrats on this first day...and as was once said...every journey of 1000 miles begins with one step....and you are now on your way!

Last night, at our local meeting, a friend celebrated her 10 year anniversary of success in recovery. To me, that`s proof that July 4th is a great place to begin!!
Congrats on Day One.......keep up the good work.

What a great day to start your road to recovery. It's a hard road to follow but so worth it. The change is amazing, the more time under your belt the better it gets. I had forgotten how good it felt to be in control of my life. I let Gambling take over, but everyday day I say today I will not gamble. You will be surprised to see how fast the days add up. Welcome to DS, this site and the people here have helped me so much.
