Popular Post Antonin Posted January 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2020 What has happened has happened. I can't change the past but I can reshape the present, and go on to have better life Everybody makes mistakes. I'm not alone. I have to show I have the strenght to put aside my ego and achnowledge the mistakes I made I live my life and never allow anyone to disturb my positive flow. I speak with my family and share my life goals A well as working on my own recovery. I have the golden apportunity to educate people about the dark side of this addiction. I won't find it difficult to share my thoughts and feelings because I have personnally gone throught this, I have experienced the hard way Some days I will be down. I will experience times when I feel weak, my resolve might waiver and feel tempted to go back to my addictive habits. I'm aware that it won't only be rough times when I will get those old urge This can happen because it is only human to relate substance abuse with good times. I've to remember, it takes time to overcome my mood swings However, I feel great. Inspiring others makes me confident from within. When I realize I have the potential to help others recover their lives Also, being in good shape and maintening a healthy diet is very important for me. These things take on slightly more significanse. Gambling abuse can have health effect after the last instance of cosumption. This is why coming through this addiction requires that I take care of myself All of that requires investment in just the right balance. Life after gambling can be a series of challenge and accomplishment, each leading to happiness and fulfillment. Peace! 8 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunchie Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 You, David, Centi and Kev are shining examples of how to be strong and fight gambling @Antonin and a lesson to others who seek help. Amazing! so proud. One question...when would you say is the hardest time when you give up?. The first week? month? or its always difficult and its a constant battle? Thanks and all the best for the future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jok3st3r Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I agree with you @Kev40.... @Antonin certainly is an inspiration, you all are, always a huge support for one another which I would imagine goes along way in helping you get through the difficult days, in fact all the days. You are all equally amazing, keep it up. And I know the support would be here for anyone who needed/wanted it too. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and all the best for the future. The hardest time for me, it's when I thought I was cured (around 5,6 months) Basically, you need to keep vigilant the first few months and never ever get complacent After 10 months, I don't have anymore urge to gamble. I really feel like a non-gambler even though I will always be a compulsive gambler Life does get better when you don't gamble and that's the truth Now, I'd rather to watch someone gamble. I don't want to gamble anymore. I look upon compulsive gamblers not with envy but with genuine pity I can not handle the stress of gambling anymore I didn't realize the risks I was taking But it is what it is, I can see clearly now! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
