tested to the limit today, had my days wages in my pocket and the person i worked with pulled up outside the bookmakers and asked me why i didnt go in, i persuaded myself and thought about what i had and could lose and it was an easy decision. i hope i can think positively like this as when im in this frame of mind i am happy and stress free and dont think i'll ever gamble again.
also my football team was playing today and i usually place lots of bets on them and different games etc but today i was so determined not to, i hope in 100 days time i can say i havent placed a bet. time to make my life worth living and make eveyone proud.
if anyone has any different ideas on how to stop gambling and stop thinking about it also if it would be beneficial to go to GA meetings or that then please coment and let me know thanks.
Hi Dylan,
Just to say well done! You have managed really well and -as you acknowledge- it was difficult. But you came through and I hope that you will be able to allow yourself to be proud.
Keep going, Dylan and I hope that others may be able to share their experience of what helped them in the past.
Kind wishes
Gabriele
