Day 3. Woke up feeling great from a great nights sleep! Ready to tackle another day sober. I will not gamble today. I just need one day, 24 hours to add to my journey. Much peace and love to you all.

Glad you’re doing the online meetings; I did so many online zoom meetings daily in the early days just so my mind wouldn’t have a chance to think about going back to downward spiral :heart_hands:t3::sunflower::heart_hands:t3::flexed_biceps:t2:

If I can keep myself busy and surround myself with the right people, I won’t have time to think about gambling. I gamble when I’m lonely.

I’m attending my first virtual GA meeting in one hour. I’ve never felt so nervous in my life, but it’s because I don’t know what to expect. I hope this is the first hour of the rest of my life

No need to be nervous, those are all the people that truly understand what you are going through. It will be good for you! Share with them where you are at in your process

Hi Nikki how was the meeting?

It was really great. I only listened but it was nice to hear others like me talk about their sobriety, struggles and failings. Made me realize I wasn’t alone. I’ll be attending again and hopefully soon talking

Going on day 7 and I noticed today is a little harder than the others. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the weekend or what. But I wanted to come here and air that frustration so I don’t make a bad decision. I am so happy to be on day 7.

The weekends and not being busy with work. I know that feeling. Plus it’s prime time for sports and a gambling addict who loves sports betting. Keep going Nikki . I’ve enjoyed our talks supporting each other. I can’t wait for my 3rd GA meeting on Thursday night. My 2nd counselling session last night was amazing too. Hugs to you and let’s stay away from the gambling. Forever.
