Hi all,
couldn't think of a short title ?
I’m on day 2 so I know it’s still very very early days but at the moment I don’t have any money so it’s easy not to gamble. I get paid on Thursday (weekly paid) and I’m worried about how different I’ll feel then. All of my wages are pretty much earmarked for paying people that I owe money to (family, friends etc) and I have blocked myself on all gambling sites so hopefully I’ll feel differently when it actually comes to payday. I suppose I’ll feel this way every week for a while? I’m not used to having money sat in the bank! I have created some “pots” on my bank app (Monzo) so I have things to save for in the future which will be nice to see them growing. Just a bit worried about payday ? I’ve always felt I’m better with no money lol.
I know I could have someone look after my money, my mum has done this in the past but I don’t like the controlling feeling of it - maybe this links to wanting to gamble and not being able to as someone else has control? Maybe that feeling would pass too?
Sorry I’m rambling now lol thanks for reading
@gadaveuk hi Dave, thanks for your reply. I will see how I feel about it on Thursday but I’m so determined to beat this this time, I really feel like something has finally clicked and changed in me but I’m not naive, it’s been a long 15 years ? I hope you are doing well today
My paycheck gets direct deposited into my wife's account to which I do not have the password. It may seem restrictive, but I actually find it liberating as I am 'free' not to lose it at gambling. lol
