Today marks 5 weeks since i had my last mad gambling spree, had a few urges since then and lots of regrets but started to move forward although still many bad days.
Finding it hard being round people still not the same person i was, keeping myself to myself or with my family or closest mates. Be glad when football season finishes, everyone seems to bet on it, have the summer to start getting myself back on track financially.
Working hard at the moment and money starting to come back, long process and need to learn to enjoy myself again and more importantly forgive and like myself.
Proud to have made 5 weeks. Urges and feelings subsiding, just gotta put my life back on track and enjoy myself again.
Only going to post weekly updates now, this forum has helped massively especially the one or two times i was so close to betting again.
Thanks to all for your support, going to get myself feeling happy again and looking forward to next chapter in life gambling free.
Will beat gambling, and look forward to posting next week for 6 weeks gambling free!
