Hi all,Â
Just wondering how people feel towards/cope with consistently counting the days since you last gambled? On one hand I feel like it's very helpful for me in resisting gambling. But I also feel it makes me a bit demotivated when I am far away from where I was previously. Like many people on here I did manage to stop gambling for a while (just over 10 months) but then relapsed. I'm now at almost 3 months without gambling and whilst I should be able to be positive about that I feel like I'm very focused on the fact that it's still another 7 months to even get back to where I was previously. I'm not sure if I'm over focusing on the time aspect and should just try to forget about how many days I'm at?Â

Here's the best advice anyone can give you, DON'T COUNT THE DAYS, MAKE THE DAYS COUNT.
