You should be proud and try to remember you are the one that has the power to make the choice of whether you gamble or not. No one else,ever. So think hard, and reflect on past experiences before you ever go. That is what time away from gambling gives us, the return of our clear thinking and decision making abilities. The longer away the more you will be able to walk away from the pain and misery gambling has caused you. God Bless

fantastic, great to hear!!

11 days is a big accomplishment and you should feel good about yourself! I know how hard it is, at times, but the rewards are greater and greater with time. Maybe in your plan you could drive directly to the bank after each shift and deposit all your cash or have someone you trust do that for you (then check your account online to see it growing and feel secure in knowing it will be there if business slows down). Thank you for your post. I wish you all the very, very best.

That is awesome. I am celebrating 3 weeks today. The urge is still in the back of my mind but is not my first thought for the first time in a long time. I had a lot of things in my life that I ignored just to go gamble. It is horrible to think about all of the money lost and where my life would be. I cannot dwell on what if but focus on now and going forward. Keep reminding yourself that you are stronger than any urge to gamble and congrats again on your accomplishment.

11 days, congrats! Keep going, and keep thinking about your desire to quit gambling, it's a strong one and it can't let you down.

Today is day 18. I am just feeling.so great! I feel the urge to quit is greater than.the urge to play. It just feels amazing! Just wanted to drop a line. Thank you everyone and God bless!

Well done! 18 days is a great accomplishment. Not to be a a wet blanket, but: be prepared to not feel so good on some days. It is a good idea to get some tools in place while things are going well, so that you are prepared when things are not going well. It is unlikely that every day will be peachy no matter how well we manage our mental and physical health.

I havent been on the website for a week or so. Just keeping myself busy with gamble free people and family, and my boyfriend who is so supportive. I definitely know that feeling Quit4good. I've felt it many times. Ive just hit a month today GF, yay! Recently actually though its been a very slow time at work and Im a waitress and Im getting so frustrated because I havent been making money to "catch up" on previous bills I let go from gambling and especially my car payment is behind. Ive been so good, but the thought did cross my mind to go to casino to possibly to win some money I haven't been making...and thats usually when I would go, but I have felt way too good to give up my sobriety. I want to be gamble free more than anything in my life. It feels so good to be able to go home after work with no "voices" telling me to go to casino. Usually, after about 2 months is when I start getting nervous... I Will eventually have to go to meetings, but this has been working for me for now and my therapist I see once a week has been really helping me too. One day at a time.

I wanted to correct myself. I've been 28 days GF, not quite a month yet but an accomplishment
