nice seeing you in the chatroom
On day 38 now and I have now been to a councelling session to make sure there is no underlying reason for my gambling. The woman was very friendly and helpful and it was nice to be able to talk to someone you dont know as it removes the personal feelings and the shame of talking to someone you dont know. I am going strong and it wont be long until I reach 50. I am confident that i will easily cope until then 🙂 hope you are all doing well

Checking in on day 63. Two months have passed. I've surprised myself. Always said I would give up (think I said it about 100 times!). Feeling good about myself , however, always on guard as I have been here about three years ago and when a few things went wrong in my life I restarted. I realise I cannot take things for granted. Me and my daughter broke our ankles 3 weeks from each other which made me house bound and that is when things got really worse. Now though I have blocks in place so if something bad happens I cannot be tempted.
Checking in on day 93. Wow just one week till triple figures! Surprised myself if im honest. So glad I self excluded from the online bookmakers that I used. My self exclusion to my local b e t f r e d s runs out on 1 april. The day after payday... sounds dangerous i know but im so close to 100 days theres no way im going back to day 1
Checking in on day 17, doing ok but the weekend is a big test for me with all the sport on. Hope everyone has a nice gamble free weekend
Day 65 all ok
I figured i'd check in early this week. I've just been reading some of the posts about people wanting to gamble that little bit more, just so they can recoup or cover what they have previously lost.
After i had my small relapse I truly realised that it is an environment that will only ever go one way. Even the times where I won money back I still managed to spend it again and before long end up with nothing. The constant pulling feeling I had for those days afterwards, desperate to just go back on. I had a 'plan' to win £10 a day, £300 a month, which would cover the cost of what I needed to repay.
That idea was foolish and the prospect of winning money back was never going to happen. Since I have excluded, spoken to someone on the phone and opened up to my family I feel so much better about it. Yes I still have a lot of money to pay back and I will do it over a number of years but I feel so much better in myself. I felt guilty even thinking about winning money back but having accepted it and started to rebuild my life it allows me to feel normal again!
