So far so good. Thanks its easy when I havent got money its when I get paid I struggle. Ahh thanks. Hes finally asleep. Took him for a walk n a bit of fresh air. Think we both needed it tbh. Yeah thats exactly what am going to do. Cant live like before. Not now that I have him. Ahhh you been a very busy bee. Bet you cant wait to relax and put your feet up later. Happy birthday to your granddaughter. Hope she has a brilliant birthday. It is. I know so many things I want and need instead of wasting it. And its not like I win cause even when I do I waste it back again. I was so happy before when I didnt gamble for over 2years. Life was good. Itll be like that again. Thanks hun. Its good having someone who understand to talk about it to xx hope you rest up when you get the chance 🙂 x

Glad you've had a lovely day Alicia...making special memories for you and little man...and they don't have to be expensive ones ! Lol...like you honey I would go without haircuts...crappy clothes etc...rather shove it in an online slot....now I enjoy spending it on myself....and of course my children and grandchildren....and I've even saved a bit !. ..it's taken a while to get back in that way id thinking but it's great....and you will get there as well...like you said you done two years...I found the gamcare couselling wonderfull...I appreciate chikdcare may be tricky...but if you can get to it ...I'm sure it would help...maybe worth trying if you can....have you any family around for support ?. ..
Try to be strong when that money hits your account love...your little man needs his mummy to be his " everything '...I'm here if you get a wobble...
And yes...I'm shattered...but happy...off to bed now...hope your Prince lets you get a good night's sleep...remember...one spin...is one to many for us.x

Thanks hun. Yeah I love it. Today we re off out abit of shopping. Want to buy him a outfit but as hes a tiny baby struggling. Lol he weighted only 6.8lb now hes 6.10. Lol notting fits. Same here. So many things id need but the slots got it instead. Not anymore. I have woken up to give him a feed and normally id be gagging for my next fix but tbh the eurge is not their atm. I feel notting other than tired which before wouldnt have stopped me. Its just me and kian. I have no family around. Thats why its harder. Just me and my bundle of cutiness. But done it before so can do it again. Thanks hun. Going to try go back to sleep in a min hopefully the voices dont get in my head. Thanks again. Its really good to talk to you. Day 4 clean of online slots x hope you have a good good night sleep xx

Still awake as I cant seem to go back to sleep but still going strong as I have not gambled. Thank god. Treated my lil man to two new outfits and a blanket. And have paid my bills. Have been even good enough to send my bro a 10a. My family dont live in the uk. Dont sound a lot but for me it Is as before every penny I had went on gambling. So feel great I have done something. FINALLY get to get my laptop out the shop which has been on buy back for a few months. Feeling brilliant. Going to put something on to eat as am starving and my eating is no existence at the moment. Lol. Life is finally looking up. Love my lil man to the moon and back x thank you x

Well I have done it. Actually feel really good. Normally would be feeling stressed out and down because I would have wasted money I couldn't afford. But not today.paid my bills and treated my lil man. Gpt what I need and still have money lefted over to last till I next get paid. Now in bed after going to relaxing as am shattered. Actually feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. Day 4 of the rest of my life. One very happy bunny x

Morning, just read your diary from the start. Firstly congratulations on the birth of your lovely little boy, you sound like you are a great mammy, you want the best for him and yourself and have been busy putting all the blocks into place to make that happen. It must be difficult being on your own, ask your health visitor if there are any groups you can go to, have a look on your tablet to see what is available in your area. keep fighting those urges, your little man is your biggest incentive to do this. Take care.
