Thanks alot to you both for your comments, that's one of the ways I've said no to urges when they have been naging at me, to just think back to when I lost all that my money few weeks ago and how low I felt, still feeling down with it as things are not going well at minute with geting let down on a job which seemed mine maybe little bit to confident but hoping things look up soon, hope your all well x

Day 13 gamble free,

Well it's not been best of days feel very down today as I'm struggling with money and as I'm sat in van way home just looking at nice cars go by and when I had my BMW and was hardly in dept and now just thinking of my dept is geting to me even more now, I feel bad as I've been moody with my gf when she hasn't done anything wrong, suppose this is what u have to go though on the road to recovery??

Hey pol,

keep strong, those feelings will come but they do go, just as quickly, 2 whole weeks tomorrow,

Keep going, you will feel a lot brighter very soon.

Thank you Suzanne I'm definitely going to take your word on it, I have been gym to take mind of things which has helped me alot tonight, hope u have a nice night x

Well it's been 2 weeks gamble free, thought would get easier further I have come but it's geting harder if anything, can't take my mind of gambling and it's really effecting my moods, this is the last thing I want as it's making me act different around my gf and I feel I Can't even tell her about how I feel as she doesn't no how bad this adiction is, will power is the key as it stands,

Morning pol.

2 weeks is a great achievement my friend, as the first couple of weeks can be hard, as we start to adjust, mentally and emotionally,

You may start to feel drained, and very tired, just take one day at a time, your moods will be all over the place,

Stay strong and determined, and be kind to you, you will feel more positive very soon.

Take care

Well it's been a easy day at work and had alot of time on my hand, went to get a sandwich from shop and counted the amount of bookies leading to it and they was 5 and a amusement one aswell, what chance do we really have when this is never gonna change, chat understand why nothing is geting done about this

They won't do anything about it pol, just think about all the adverts on the TV alone promoting gambling, as along as they are in nearly every advert, it will only progress, I totally agree with you, there are now more bookies on the high street than ever there was, say even 5 years ago.

Don't let it get to you, they have had more than your share, look at them for what they are now, they are everywhere because they are making money, for them and therefore expanding.

Concentrate on you, don't give them another single penny, simply by not feeding this addiction another penny.

You are doing fine, keep positive

PS

Ade put a link on his diary, about a professional footballer, who actually said this addiction is a lifetime illness, click on his link,and watch it, very informative,
