Nearly 2 weeks

Hi Meg, well done for getting two weeks GF. You sound a lot like myself. Iv been gambling for around the same amount of time as you. Mostly slots, horse racing and football. I decided enough was enough, iv tried before and failed but I’m currently on 16 days without gambling. I’m trying keep off my phone as much as possible as well and when my mind wanders I try take it to somewhere else. Good luck with your journey, all the best.

My lowest moment was falling back on payday loans that’s when I knew I had to stop again. 
You need to be honest with yourself before you ask for help in my opinion. 
I was at my lowest ebb and thought I can’t do this no more and went and confessed to my husband what I had been doing during his 24hr shifts at work.

I used to gamble more when he wasn’t around when I was bored and lonely. I would plan my gambling sessions in secret.

My health took a downward spiral and my anxiety was causing sleepless nights and was managing 3 hours at best.

You will know when you have had enough as I found out.

Willpower and determination is needed.
