So today has been a good day. I lost pretty much my entire wage at the beginning of the month, and have struggled by with next to nothing ever since. today I received an email from a not so well known gambling site to inform me that my self exclusion had ended, and that in 7 days my account could be re-opened. I emailed back and asked for the account to be re-instated. In my mind I was thinking I will only deposit £25, and could win enough to make the rest of this month a bit more bearable. I sat and thought, and then pictured myself losing for the 100th time, and the crushing feeling that comes with it. I sent another email to the site, and then asked to be excluded permenantly. I would rather see the rest of this month out completely broke then gamble again. I found some strength inside that I didn't think I had. Payday will be the real test as I usually gamble the whole lot away 2-3 days after being payed. This month I am determined to pay towards debts, and have enough left to treat my family to a little something. Feeling positive for the first time in a few weeks.
Great decision bee keep it up
