Ok so day 1 is here again and although I'm feeling pretty confident so far, I'm thinking of distractions...
Has anyone done anything to distract themselves? I've made a shopping list of things I need/want to buy so instead of blowing money I get things to show for it?
Was wondering what other people have come up with to help keep gambling off their minds?
I find if the thoughts creep in I'll go off out for a walk. Or call a friend and we plan something to do, so I have that to look forward to and that gives my mind something else to think about.
Sometimes I'll get out my Spanish books and worksheets to try and learn a bit more, or do word games online. Anything to turn my mind to other things.
Hi, not sure whether your a man or a woman from your name, but me as a woman find that cleaning is the best distraction for me, whenever im bored ill clean something or maybe paint a door thats looking a bit grubby lol... i also go through all my paperwork and shred stuff i dont need and organise it all, as i think a tidy and organised house creates a calm tidy mind.... I also go shopping, i dont necessary always buy anything but its just nice to have a browse around and look at things u may want to by in future, and keeps u occupied... hope this helps...keep strong and take care x
