Wel i've gone through two whole weekends now without gambling and I'm feeling good. Just proves to myself I can do it. Of course I've made it virtually impossible to gamble because I've blocked myself but I suppose if someone is desperate they find a way but I've resisted and the feelings I'm having every morning i wake up are good ones knowing i haven't played till the early hours. I feel more energetic and have a LOT more patience with my kids. I want others on this site to see that it is possible and not to give up. I am so determined to beat this illness.
Anything is possible when you want it to happen , glad you have managed two weeks long may it continue
Thanks
Hi poblwc,
You are doing really well in your recovery. It's great to read that you are going strong after an initial set back and that you use your experience to learn how to cope better in the future. You reflect on your situation and you utilise those reflections to help yourself do things differently. You are on a very good path and I wonder whether you might like to start a recovery diary in the diary section of this Forum. It would give you an opportunity to monitor your progress in a single thread and you could get much encouragement for yourself. It's just a thought...
I wish you a good week, and that you stay strong. You can do this!
Kind wishes
Gabriele
