Well said mythedunk
We all know we're only one step from disaster, and as long as we can go one day at a time then nothing else we can do, keep our money in our pocket plus our mental health at bay. Wise words everyone on this site has great insight in different ways and forms but to me it good to have that support from everyone thanks all and keep up supporting Each other
Day 34... feeling really good again this week. Haven’t been tempted to gamble at all, had my second counselling call with Krysallis this morning, we discussed what happens in our minds when we gamble and why our brains don’t function the same way as your average person, I understand more clearly now that this is something I will have to be careful with for the rest of my life. One bet will never be one bet. It’s amazing how much more positive I feel about everything in my life now. Tomorrow marks 5 weeks gamble free but I’m still taking it just one day at a time. Everybody’s comments and own individual posts are a huge help to me, I read them everyday as a reminder that I’m not on my own with this. Thanks everybody!

40 days! By far the longest I’ve ever gone without gambling since I was 18. Still taking it one day at a time, don’t really have an urge anymore. Kind of lost all interest in it which is a good thing, don’t even talk about gambling with friends or family anymore. Debts are going down, everything is going well at the moment.
hope everyone is doing well.

Definitely sleeping better! Just generally taking care of myself more too. It’s really horrible what a gambling addiction can do to you. Most importantly I’m happier now. Thanks for the comment, hope your doing well @mythdunk
50 DAYS! So proud of myself but still taking a one day at a time. Day by day things are getting so much better in my life. Thanks everyone for your support!

yes u will
DAY 62. 62 days already, it’s gone really fast so far and I’m enjoying life more than ever right now. I know I’ve got a long way to go but I’m taking it one day at a time, will probably post here every two weeks or so from this point, around the time I have my fortnightly phone call from Krysallis. I hope everyone is doing well!

It’s been a while!! But I’m at day 76 now, this past day or two has been a struggle, I was sent home with Covid 19 symptoms (I’m fine) and now I have to isolate for 14 day’s. During this time I won’t be on pay, as I’m on a 0 hour contract, I will receive some sick pay each week but it isn’t anywhere near what I usually receive on a weekly basis. It’s come at a bad time, my MOT is due to be paid on the 18th, I can afford this, I know I need repairs but it’s affordable, it will leave me with very little savings however and the temptation is there to try and win the money to pay for it. I don’t want to let myself down, I’ve done so well so far, this next two weeks will be the biggest challenge I’ve faced yet.
