Wide awake at silly o’clock! Thought I would read some forum blogs! The safety net of self exclusion helped today! Walking home I must have passed 15 bookies and the knowledge I can’t go in helped me as I simply walked home. This will help give me some headspace and to get out of the habit of popping in! Here to a day gamble free!
Well done for resisting jappy. Yes the blocks help and create that hurdle. I am on gamstop to help me. Stay strong and keep dancing ? oops I mean keep gf. ?
Thanks Sarah any day not feeling c**P helps and it’s another barrier against myself
Awake again, yesterday a good day! Lunch time was difficult as head saying go and have a cheeky half hour to release stress! So self exclusion worked and end of day all good
here’s to another day gf
Another day another gf day ? today has been a little easier on the head! Been busy went out at lunch grabbed food and back, so didn’t have time to “ponder” ponder usually includes a sneaky half hour! Hopefully this is self exclusion helping!
heres to a good day!
Today another great day gf! Got a call from a friend to go to surprise birthday for a friend! Great night a few drinks and all sound no going off to casino or on line s**t!! A good day and another gf that’s all I need and want
Today the day after! Went to find my car. I then went to golf! This has been great for all friends/ beer / Indians and gold all there! The future is good with the social circle! Florida not great?
Today - Monday ? work abs chores - this has been a day when I have always wandered off to get some relief from the boredom. Today I have not plans to do that! I have a plan to complete work, gym or the driving range! All good to be gf.
That’s a full week and I am still gf which is great I have put barriers in place and my mind is slowly clearing and I am beginning to concentrate on other things been on theee runs, done golf practice a couple of times and done a days work! All great here is to tomorrow!
It’s now Wednesday all good in world had a full day no thoughts about gambling - and that’s great please continue! On the road again for a few days but got my barriers in place self excluded where staying! So here’s to lots of work! Also some down time - maybe a meal out! Rather than binge eating after wasting time and money in bookies! Here to another day gf
Wed evening back at hotel I was at last Monday, this eve came back and did some work now all done and last Monday left the bookmakers after losing a few hundred and it was 9.15pm so waste a night! Much different feeling but barriers put in place that evening!
Beautiful sunny day here in planet earth! Got enough money for my lunch and bus fares, off to work with no worries- pay day tomorrow and I can pay another month off debts! No increases, not new debt! Just one month to sanity.
today I will be gf and that’s great!?
Great day work went well had a nice walk at lunch time but glad for my barriers and self exclusion as my mind did wander and in the past I would have gone for a cheeky half hour! Instead had a sandwich in the sun, then an hour in bike and a burger and beer for evening meal! All good and still gf
Pay day has arrived! I will be able to pay all bills and have a repayment listing which leaves some spare! This I will enjoy living normally! My barriers will help and now one month nearer debt free!
Today is Sunday, pay day gone and debt reduced a small amount! Saturday at golf and beers with friends all good and today busy and drive to work ready for tomorrow- all good have a good day
