Debt is still a big cloud over my head, but it's slowly lifting. Acceptance is vital, my credit rating is now shot, I am now seeing progress towards paying off the debt as well as building an emergency fund for those irregular surprises that pop up. I won't be able to borrow money for a very long time, and to be honest, I'm not sure that I ever want to other than a mortgage perhaps.
I have to remind myself that I must now live life within my means, and it's actually not that bad, it enables me to look forward to and appreciate going out so much more. My wife and I are going to see Micky Flanagan in May, and we had the money available in the recreation category of the budget, all because I am no longer gambling. I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's still very distant but it is there.
Today, I will not gamble, I will continue to improve my life, my maturity and keep working the 12 step program, for I wish not to return to the hell when I was gambling.

One day at a time. My last bet was 15/03/2016 and I hope and pray each day that it stays that way.
