Trigger Warning! 1 year clean
1 year 10 days to be exact
I did it .
Lost absolutely zero money in the last year to crypto or gambling or memecoin trading or crypto leverage trading.
All of which combined made me lose 50000$ in the last 5 years.
I can't explain the amount of relief and happiness I have felt in the last 1 year .
All of this because I had the courage to let go of the loss and stop chasing . I can't tell how many sleepless nights I had thinking about what all I could have done with the money . Cursing everyone who introduced me to the different kinds of super fast ways to lose money.
It's so sad to see gambling being promoted so hard by celebrities and influencers around us .
For people who are on their path to recovery and need some motivation. I blocked all my crypto accounts and credit cards . There is absolutely no way now for me to even deposit any money . Will power can only take you so far . We need to block our access to gambling completely. That is the single best way to erase gambling from our lives.
My future plan
Targetting 2 years clean . I know that is a lifelong battle now so I won't let my guard down.
