7 days clean now and I don't see myself getting tempted so happy within myself at the minute yeah I've got a lot of debt (£10k) but in time that will go. Feel like it's my time to push gambling to 1 side and to start living my life again only 7 days I no but I'm proud of myself still
Congratulations on your 7 day achievement! I'm only on 7 days today with a similar debt to my name,
Keep it going and concentrate so this time next week you can be posting about 14 days!
Congrats on your 7 days. I've also got to the same stage and it feels great, doesn't it!
On 5 days with 30k ish. I'm only 24 and don't know how or why I got into this mess. Well done
I'm 26 Matt so I know how difficult it is but let's all make sure my 7 days turns into 14 and yourself turns into 12 this time next week
Congratulations on your 7 days! I've just signed up after realising I need to admit to myself and sort myself out. At present I'm only 4 hours into my no gambling path, but feel like admitting to myself, signing up to this and closing my online accounts is my first steps to a gambling free and happier life.
Exactly Lou we can all bet this addiction we are all here because we no we have a problem and this first step we've all taken is the biggest step
Hi fufc hope you are well. I'm new I joined today and have gained amazing strength from knowing I am not alone. I've literally spent hours tonight trawling the forums and gaining an insight into the addiction. This morning I had a moment of clarity after spending what little I have left to feed me and my daughter thinking I could win back what I have lost. I felt awful. My problem stems from depression and loneliness, whilst gambling online, I forgot for a short time how unhappy with myself I was, yet I came away unhappier after losing what I could definitely not afford. The hardest thing is admitting to yourself you have a problem, then taking t bpnecessary steps to take that temptation away. So so glad in found this forum , the people on it are amazing (and more importantly, blatantly honest) about their struggles and triumphs. I have a renewed faith in myself that I will beat this, I've faced worse and this will not beat me. I wish you all the best of luck in your journey x
Morning Lou really pleased you've found help with the forum it's helped me slowly but surely but now I feel in a good place with it all. Day 8 of my future think how good your feel when you get to day 5 then say 10 and before you no it will be a month etc al the best and let's all kick gambling to 1 side and forget about it
