Well done Matt692 & K2, great achievement!Â
Thanks Walliss77,
weirdly I had a real moment of weakness sitting in the car on Friday on the way home, tempted to go the cash point then bookies. Can't for the life of me explain why. I normally feel like retching if unavoidably I as much as walk past a bookies.
Just a reminder for me to keep guard up & avoid any hint of complacency.
Sometimes it hard to pinpoint a reason for thought/desire. I still work incredibly hard at recognising, naming, accepting and feeling my feelings/emotions without needing to change or avoid them. This is something I believe was the driving force to my addiction. I remember many years ago I was told by my therapist that feelings won't kill you and they just come and go if you let them be and don't fight them.Â
Well done for not making a poor choice!Â
Well done k2 great achievement- my day today is a struggle after 50 days I need to refocus!

day 22 for me, not even an urge yet.
i lasted 292 days from august to end of may then went back to my old ways. Thankfully it was small stakes however last saturday i went and placed a bet in a bookie im excluded from and played on a fruit machine, with this in mind i feel i have gone back to my old ways and need to take all possible steps to avoid going back to the dark days of gambling and the soul destroying feeling after a large loss.  With this in mind my last gamble was on tuesday 3rd sept 2019....................lets go again adam123 day 5
