Well,
today is my 81st day GF. I know it's not a lot to some, but every day is hard to not think about it. I've been keeping myself as busy as I can and I know that I can carry on like this. Now I've gone past the first month, its made me more determined to push through the rest of it. Not going to say it will be easy, but I do have less of an urge to gamble. I have money in my account and I'm not tempted.
Best of luck to you all
Happy 81st day, friend! I am 182 days GF today, been colouring in my day by day mad gambler’s reverse advent calendar as I go.
Don’t know about you, the urge still comes for me, it just gets a tiny bit less powerful, and I let the other, beautiful ordinary stuff of life, come back in and expel the hypnotic b******t of gambling. It’s reconnecting to the world and everyone who has been patient enough to tolerate me while I was ‘away’.
@jake23 Awh wow, congratulations.
I must admit, I've had no urges. Been playing on the Playstation 5 a lot, which has kept my mind off everything else. Plus owning a company means I don't have time for gambling lol
Day 5 for me today gf and I have never felt better yes taking it day by day from what alot of you have said on here but playing the xbox for me has really helped as well colouring and doing a jigsaw has really helped me like with the urges im slowly but surely forgetting about gambling and all now
I know for me I have said it so many times but I am never doing it again I want my life back and control of my life before this addiction makes me lose everything because I will and I ha e the best friends and family and my own home and not given that up
So im with you for saying" I never thought I'd see the day because me either so good luck everyone and I love this forum its really helping me to be strong and to I got this
@juicyj Good for you Juicy, it is useful to realise that you may have fallen but there is always further to go. I think of myself as having fallen down a crevasse, and landed on a ledge, with the actual rock bottom somewhere in the darkness below. It’s going to take a lot to climb back up, but it would be fatal to fall any further.
