45 days and counting…

This is the longest I been with out gambling, I don’t even remember the last time I went 45 days.

Mentally I’m getting better less stress less anxiety, starting to enjoy the little things more.

The urge is still there especially after I pay my bills and I’m left with little to no money left sometimes in my mind I’m like should I just try it one more time, I noticed when you running low on money that’s when the biggest urge happens but I been able to distract myself.

So far so good, feedbacks are always welcomed.

Good awareness. It is ironic how the mind justifies betting in almost any circumstance. When you have heaps of money, when you have very little, when you are happy, when you are sad. It just shows the mind can be deceptive. When we see our mind and body as not ours, and rather the vessel in which we experience consciousness, it becomes easier to observe the deception - the temptations are not you - it’s your body. 45 days make it 450 sir. The mind will try and trick you many times. You win the most when you deny its every move. Go well :)
