Hello everyone posted few days ago but at the minute I'm finding it very hard!! Can't stop thinking about gambling today I've resisted the urge mainly to not having any money but come payday tomorrow I no it's going to be difficult I've got debt which I need to pay but also bills to pay ie rent so I know I can't afford to spend the money which is what I've got to keep in my head. Then I've also got in my head you could turn £300 into £800 or whatever it be when I no that is never the case just got to try and maintain my mental strenth
Cheers thank you for the support a day at a time is defiantly the way forward
Please try the one day at a time approach - or even one hour at a time. I'm new to this way of life but I haven't bet for over four months and I was practically betting on nearly every race in every meeting - insane. One day at a time makes it manageable. Best of luck in your journey. Life is a million times better without the monkey on your back. Phil
Even if you got to £800, as a cg you wouldn't stop, even if you withdrew it today you would go back and lose it plus more. This is my story of yesterday.
Sod the money and think of the impact it has had on your relationships and mental well-being.
