Sorry I am posting a lot lol but it's really helping me. I am still in the process of figuribg out how to tell my partner I have slipped up, well more like slipped up crashed into a wall and whacked my head, again! But, maybe to make myself feel better, I am trying to think about a plan for sorting my life out! I just thought people could share ideas on distraction ideas when the urges hit! I am finding the adult colouring apps really good at the moment so thats an idea! I'm trying to prepare myself as the last time I gambled was thursday but only because there is zero in my bank atm, sounds bad I know but I'm being honest about it. But I know this time I can't do this on my own I need professional help and to be honest about my debts and sort that out instead of burying my head in the sand! I am feeling positive tbh and I am excited to try and start a life gambling free! But this is all before the s**t hits the fan when I come clean 🙁 xxx
GT has a thread on Tips for keeping busy which is deffo worth a look @ 🙂
