Day 4 - I've done it again. Managed to get through 4 months, but due to a lack of funds and this horrible addiction, I succembed and have ruined all the hard work I had done. So I now have to rebuild again. Start from where I was a few months back, sort money and debt out, probably find somewhere new to live. All I can focus on at the moment is not gambling today and my work which I need to be successful.
Today I will not gamble
Day 5 - Nothing to report, other than I am not going to gamble today. I pretty much hate myself and the positions I put myself and those that care about me in, and I really need to stop being a b******d.

Day 9 - I have a hypnoetherapy consultation booked for tomorrow which I am really looking forward to. Thats about all I have to look forward to at present, but small steps and taking each day as it comes is the answer.

Day 10 - Just finished my first Hypnotherapy session, just feel very relaxed, spoke in great length about all my history, the present and what the future holds. Some really interesting comments came out in our chat, for example I've never really thought about the connection between being in control and gambling. I'm normally very chilled with everyday life things, but with gambling I'm totally different. Hopefully the reprogramming works, and I can rid this evil illness once and for all. But I feel really positive, have no idea whether its worked, but I did just go into a shop where I would normally have bought some scratchcards, and thought twice and didn't, so I see that as progress.

Day 11 - Horrible day. All my positive thoughts gone. My heads a total mess. Gone away for the weekend to get away from everything.
Today I haven't gambled
