Another weekend g f , I always feel relieved when I get through another weekend because there the days I used to gamble on the most ! Still not smoking and I even had a few beers today and still didn't have a ciggy . Keep going everyone and thanks for all your help . Loz
Hi loz, well done you're doing great and with the smoking. You are giving out some good advice in the chat room and it's good to see that you are taking others advice on board. It will get easier and the thoughts will be less in time. Stay strong in your recovery.
Ps you don't need to do a new thread each day, you just add comments on the end. You must have a dozen diaries now 🙂
Thanks tilly for the compliments , I'll just add the comments from now on , lol , it's still all a bit new to me ! Hope your OK, loz
Day 14 g f had a good weekend , still no ciggies , got another one to one on Thursday so looking forward to that , staying positive , taking one day at a time . Chat room really helps me , lots of good advice and comments . Started to see how life can be if you don't gamble be I'm still not getting complacent I know it's small steps but I'm going in the right direction ! . Loz

Hey loz.
I am the same, going to post everyday and took part in the challenge. We are all in the battle together. Stay strong.
Day 5, staying in today there's no way I'm going out , Saturday's my demon day for gambling !! .Day 5 feels good just come bac k from work and feel a bit on edge but staying positive . I know I've lost a lot of money over the past few months but I'm not chasing this time I'm excepting the loss even though my head is saying you can win it back and maybe I can but I'll just lose it again next time and probably more , a lot more .! . Hope everyone stays gf this weekend and enjoys it rather than waking up on Monday with a big loss and feeling sick with worry. Good luck all .loz
