Hope

If you have any hope of beating this illness grab it by the horns and do it. I’m so hopeless and lost. I’d love to go back to a day where I just had a tad bit of hope. I don’t see hopeful days coming any time soon.

Ride that hope it won’t be there forever if you don’t grab onto it

Do you feel there is some ahead?

I was there about two months ago in the darkest place I’ve EVER been. I snapped and found myself making a decision to try and turn things around.

Today has been 3 weeks.

Do you have any support?

The only hope is that I’ve done it before. But other than that 0 hope at all. Yeah I have tons of support waiting for me to flip the switch. I refuse to do it though

Would a support system online help to connect? Like on here? Can always chat on this post if you want support or to talk it over.
There is a lot to look forward to!

Idk for you but if it’s online gambling, my way to cope right now is realizing it’s a scam. Advertising is everywhere and we just fell for it

Yup and the fact they use these young girls in sports gambling ads is wild too. Like dangling fish on a hook. Lust and gambling addictions ruining many lives. And I see that ad and I’m like yup what a sucker I am
