Yes I am 80 odd days into my 3rd journey as a gamble free citizen. I am still overdrawn and owe lots of money. I'm having this horrible feeling, maybe because I am skint already this month where I feel like c**P.
I have had a mad summer with holidays and weddings galore so that is obviously going to make me skint. But today I had news that I couldn't remortgage because I was past my overdraft so much, so often in the previous 6 months. I know what this is.......gambling!!
So, basically, I am skint and feel like c**P. I'm having no urges to gamble. I don't care about the gambling at the moment. I am happy to not feel urges and stay away from bookies. But I set myself a 1825 day target at the beginning of this 3rd stint and I just hope if I keep going then my debts will slowly go.
My second job is actually costing me money at the moment. So I need to keep strict with how I'm spending my profits. i.e petrol, food, clothes etc.....
Sorry for my ramblings, just feeling a bit down today.
Thanks for the reassurance everyone...., oh wait!!!!
Thanks for nothing
