I wrote my last post on the 03/12/2016. I haven't played blackjack for 42 days. I feel so good for it and know that I am winning by no longer losing huge amounts of money. I'm happier as a person and my relationship with my girlfriend is so much better. I get moody from time to time when I think about it how stupid I was and when I think about the debt on my credit card. But I know this year it will all be paid off.
I still think about blackjack and playing it from time to time and thought about it today which is probably why I'm writing this post. Just got to be strong and focus on my future and know how much better things are now. It's DEFINATLY getting easier though. I have been in casinos in London With my friends since I stopped and just watched my friends gambling and laughing to myself inside. I resisted the urge I remember on the train home on my own crying at how proud I was of myself and telling my partner, this was a big thing for me. As I used to throw such much money away in those places.
Moral of the story is guys is if your determined and want to make your life better, just quit and resist the urge even when it gets hard think of things to do and to take your mind off when you think about gambling.
I seem to have put on a bit of weight since I have stopped or maybe that is just Christmas haha, However I would rather be morbidly obease than waste another moment gambling..
Good luck guys
Well done and keep on doing. I totally agree with you. Will power, determination is the key for stop gambling away: time, relationships and money.
