My name is Simmo

[Simmo]

Whenever I feel uneasy about gambling, I soon realise it's because I've not been working my program enough. There are days I skip praying, skip a meeting, skip my gratitude list.

Daily routine is essential for me, especially as I've never really had a routine at all.

Morning prayer - I use the book one day at a time. I'm not religious, but I believe in a higher power, I was broken and open minded to do what was suggested by others in the fellowship that have years of sobriety / not gambling.
Daily gratitude list - write down 10 things every day that I am grateful for - this helps to stay positive and not concentrate on one negative thought, that normally isn't that bad at all.
Ring my sponsor - something I've been avoiding, but normally because I know what he will tell me, and my ego has been a little too strong lately.
ring a new comer - reminds me where I used to be and it helps me to help others.
Write my daily thoughts journal - This really helps me clear my head of unhelpful thoughts before bed.

Just for today i will not gamble
