Glad you're doing well mate. It's really nice sometimes to get away (wherever that may be) and reflect on actually having 'free' time not occupied by gambling. All the best - Phil
Correct i was only thinking about the same topic this morning. Important to be in the present with loved ones and gambling prevents this. It's horrible for the people that are closest to you too who have to put up with the coldness in your personality.. Time doesn't stop, it continues to tick on, gambling makes you want it to stop, and puts you in a hole which consumes you and stops you from being present
Tieing up ya time was one of the first things I was taught... and wasn't easy but you learn to remember the things you enjoyed before gambling and find a new love for old hobbies again. Great video 👍🏻
Brilliant to hear Richard that your now doing something so much more postive and stress releasing instead of stress bringing. A perfect example of what I mean when I say in videos " fill the time and void left by gambling with other positive activities " I wish you all best in your recovery. Just to get where you are is huge, keep building on it

Absolutely mate, being able to enjoy that stuff and actually being there in the moment making memories is absolutely priceless.
I used to sit for 2-3 hours in a bookies on a fobt at a time, I now go to the gym every night for 2 hours I’m in recovery & starting to get better
