2.5 years since my last bet and life feels incredible! My dopamine is fully back to what it was pre-gambling. My business is thriving and I’ve been able to save a lot of money for retirement. This addiction completely humbled me and I don’t take anything for granted. I’m grateful for having a strong support system and a strong man that stuck by me through my lows.
If you’re struggling with quitting, I get it. When you get to the point where you realize this disease took everything from you, that’s when you can truly start to heal and let go.
I know that this disease is a life-long struggle, but the casino will never see another penny from me!

Amazing and congratulations. I like how you have posted multiple progress milestones across time.
Loss of enjoyment from normal things is a major reason why people continue to gamble hey. We are starved for dopamine and we dint get it from normal stuff anymore so resort to gambling. Rinse and repeat. Such a fucked cycle to be in.
I’ve yet to go a full year without a lapse bit I’ve gone multiple stints over 250 days over the years and that’s been a massive change for me.
It’s good to see these positive stories here. Well done 🙂
