Thanks all for the kind words.
Day 7.
This morning I felt like visiting a bookies more than I have done all week.
I have no access to cash and have self-excluded so it was an impossibility, nonetheless the urge was there.
After a brief chat with Anastasia (gamcare) these thoughts were dispelled.
The reason the urge was there was habit, Sunday morning would normally involve a visit to a bookies whilst out for the morning rolls for breakfast, either collecting money from yesterday or putting the days bets on, and would always involve a session on a FOBT, which would invariably result in losing yesterday's winnings then trying to chase them.
I am now slowly seeing the error of my ways and am realising how much of a mug I've been all these years.
Next step on my recovery journey is my first GA meeting tomorow night.
