My name is Andy and Im a compulsive gambler.I am now 316 days free of gambling,and havent had a bet since May 23rd 2010.I managed to attend a meeting last night for the 1st time in months and I am so glad I did,because I saw myself in a mirror 11 months ago,when I walked through the door for the millionth time after failing by trying it my way time and time again.
I cant say my recovery is going well,I struggle every day with life,but Im not gambling and it would be 1000 times worse if I do.
I never thought I could even manage 1 day without a bet,ever,but so far ive kept clean and want to stay clean,for I HATE,HATE,HATE gambling.It has ruined my life and all I am trying to do now is rescue some kind of life and keep myself free from gambling.
Just for today I will not gamble and I will only take 1 day at a time,for that is all we have.
