Hi I’m Claire this is my first post , I’ve tried for several years to not gamble , every month was the same story pay day would come and the money would be gone. I have seeked help and have attended a couple of ga meeting now , and today I am 28 days gf !!
my question is I suffer with depression and anxiety , which today I am very low and all I can think about is going online ( which I can’t access ) to block everything out. How does everyone deal with urges ? When my mood is low I really can’t be bothered to move let alone do something to keep my mind busy, if anybody is in the same boat with no motivation and urges could you suggest doing anything that does require moving from bed ?
thanks Claire
for today I will not gamble 😍
Hi Claire the urgues come and go the longer u abstain from gambling the easier it gets currently on day 466 and i havent had a major urgue to gamble, you need to find a new hobby or interest for me it took 5-6 six months for the urgues to settle as their were time i could have relapsed what helped me was using the forum on here and the chatrooms and im fortunate not to give in since then my life been great
