Hi.Yesterday I promised myself I would never gamble again. Yesterday evening I did 1200 pounds. This morning I phoned my sister at 7am and told her.
Feel horrible and ashamed. And know I need to deal with the why it happened .
Day 1....
24 hours. I wanted to tonight. Was feeling good after a night out and wanted to continue feeling good. Texted my amazing sister. Just to say I wanted to but wasn't going to. And suddenly realised I didn't want to anymore. First 24 hours clean in six weeks. I think I can do this. I'm far from complacent. But telling someone was the best thing I could have done.
sorry double post
The first few weeks will be tough but stick with it
It really is worth it.
My advice is read the success strories from CG
How are winning the battle.
Hi Being present
I thought you might like to open a diary to help you document your progress either on a daily or weekly basis, see how you feel. Take a look and see if you feel it will help tackle your recovery journey a bit easier http://www.gamcare.org.uk/forums/recovery-diaries
All the best
