- We can all do it!
- It's about the little things. 150 isn't much, but I know my life wouldn't be 1/8 as nice right now if I'd been gambling the last 5 monthsKeep fighting the good fight..
- Prevention. Only based on experience as I have relapsed a few times:1. Never feel too confident about gambling. Be wary of it. Once you get debts close to being paid off, you might get the feeling that everything is ok. That's dangerous. Always...
- I have many, but I need to really work on my anger and how i talk and treat my wife. Neither of us want our marriage to end, but if I don't recognize my defect when it appears, it could be over. I need to be better

- That gets said in sporting events when someone is having an extrodinary day. Have a Day! I wanted everyone here to have a day. Have a peaceful dayHave a stressless dayHave a happy dayHave a great dayHave a gamble free dayGo forth into your day,...
- Enjoy your weekend. Urges lessen after 120+ days, but it's when you feel "comfortable" that you are also very vulnerable. This is something we can win at! I believe in all of us
- I joined a wellness challenge at work. trying for 10,000 steps a day. I've run/walk/biked over 80 miles this month and i feel so much better and really keeps my mind centered and not sitting around depressed about my addiction. Very helpful
- Say it everyday. Creeping towards 120 days since my latest and damnit I'll say it my last relapse, I know I need to say that everyday. Respect and learn from the past and not dwell on it. I choose me and my family this time. I will not be broken. ...
- Believe in yourself. This is something everyone can win at. Beat back those demons, and let in the light. With patience, honesty and strength the future is bright.Good night
- I'm headed toward 120 days clean but that reminder of the destruction can be fresh enough, I need that to keep me straight. Never again can I allow my head to think I'm ok and can gamble like others. It's a dead end street, and a dead end life. I...
- It's a character defect that I need to recognize. In the past I always wanted to get the days under my belt and get the recovery "moving" . I now know that it happens on it's own time and rushing anything only causes un-needed stress. It's about...
- I have hurt so many. I've torn my family in two, I've ruined my perception of myself. I torn my financial status in two. I live in a house where there is no love. Well, my kids do; but that's it. It's a very sad feeling. I don't think healing...
- This is th third time I've hit this milestone. Made it 1 year then 2. I hope to never have to start over again. You can get there folks. Let's beat it together
- One of the hardest things to do. All I think about is things that i could have provided my family right now if I hadn't built up this debt from the shitty addiction. Nicer house, better schools and I would be able to afford a new car instead of...
