Stopped alcohol...developing small gambling problem!
Posted , 7 users are following.
Escape is my friend. So now that I don't escape with alcohol (a little over 2 weeks)...I notice I am going to the store more often and buying scratch tickets.
The tickets have become something I look forward to. And because I am not WINNING all the time I am spending money. Maybe just as much as I did drinking.
Did anyone else turn to a different VICE when they stopped using alcohol?
The last time I stopped for 8 years....my replacement for immediate gratification was buying anything at the store...even if it were just a candy bar.

I'm not doing both right now..just gambling...I was really bad today....OMG.
The biggest problem with what i am doing...is I am realizing I am spending more money on gambling that I was on drinking....and I'm AFRAID...I will start to think...geeze....I spent less drinking....and that I should have drink...instead.
