Htz,
I wish I could tell you the perfect formula to make you stop. It some magic pill. I think we have all wanted that at some point.
I have tried to quit many many times over the 10 years i have gambled. And failed every time. Many would share there advice telling me that it would get worse it i didnt stop gambling. Sometimes I would read it in people's diaries and be relieved in a way i wasnt them.
Truth be told it didnt have a long lasting effect i had to live it first. Now i truly understand how bad it can be. I am grateful that I have my reltionship, my job but that's about it.
You will lose everything you have and everyone if you continue. You dont have to live this life. None of us do. Put blocks in place. That's what you need for now. Keep us posted!
Up bright and early and contacted RCA Trust to arrange a counselling session. Guy on the phone was extremely supportive and looking forward to the session.
Simple step today is not to gamble.
All the regrets and lies have bogged me down a bit today..
2 days GF
Regret solves nothing, lies were the best you could do at the time.....step into tomorrow with a fresh page...
HTZ, just thinking of you and hoping you have had a good day. You know where we all are if you should need a hand. x

Thanks for the support...
Had a busy day at work, not really had a chance to think about gambling.
Phonecall I was expecting from RCA to arrange counselling never came so will have to give them a call on Monday.
Going to be a tough weekend but hopefully overcome another hurdle.

Well done for getting through the weekend, often a danger zone for me in the past. Best GF wishes S:)
6 days GF.
A small milestone tommorow, hoping to make it a week GF... Hard work continues.
7 days or 1 week GF... Been a hard week, never really thought about gambling much over the week and when I have a quick diversion has helped get away.
Feels like I have been GF a lot longer than I have.
RCA have not been back in touch to arrange the counselling.
Feeling slightly more upbeat but need to get rid of this gambling in order for me to drive down the debt and get my life on track.
A marathon not a sprint.
The journey continues...
8 days GF today.
9 days GF... Equalled my last crack at stopping but really feel a bit more confident this time and I just know tommorow is going to be 10 days...
Not really thought much more about gambling but it is still in the background and well aware it can return.
