So I decided on Sunday that enough is enough! I'm done with gambling.... It does nothing for me I get no enjoyment out of it now I actually dread how much I'll waste! So I've self excluded myself from the
Sites I've previously used and I've gave my bank cards to my mother in law and deleted the card history from my phone so I can't register and play on another site now. Only day three but I know this is it for me I feel like a weight has been lifted but also feel empty inside is this normal?
Welcome...and well done on the three days....all very posative things you've done to start dealing with your addiction....have a mooch bout on here....read some diaries....id recommend ringing the helpline for support as well....good luck
And yes....those feelings are normal love....Chuck yourself into your housework. ..baking....your kiddies....anything to distract you from gambling.....in the early days you just need to focus on not gambling.....as the gamble free days mount up and you put distance between your last play....it slowly gets easier love...
Keep as busy as you can.....x
