Thanks guys for posting on my diary, I appreciate the support
Day 16 now for me, still feel ok, urges are a bit less than they were but aware I cant get complacent, god its 16 days not 16 months!!
Hope everyone is ok and managing to overcome their own situations
Hi scott,
We are going to be here for a long time and I will always be 9 days behind you because of my relapse but 16 days is still 16 days. Enjoy it mate and enjoy the feeling like I am and im only on day 8 today.

So we move onto day 19
It's been a busy few days, lot going on and can happily say I haven't thought about betting much at all, another weekend though with pay day thrown in for good measure!
Confident I will be ok though, hope everyone else is doing well
Hi Scott
Well done on 19 days and your post is very positive.
Stay focused with guard up, barriers in place and continue winning because gambling really is a total waste of out time money and lives

Good Going Scott, Hope the weekend was good for you !
Andy
Well done Scott
I had an urge yesterday but beat it.
Keep up the good work mate

Thanks for posting guys
Now onto day 22, had a busy weekend which kept me going....However I did really struggle, this is the hardest weekend out the 3 I have went through so far, probably because of payday I suppose but had loads of urges to bet
Glad I didn't but was a huge wake up call for me, I was starting to get a bit confident I was doing ok but that was a reality check that its going to be tough
Sorry if it sounds a bit negative, key thing is I didnt give in I suppose but did find myself almost getting dragged back in
Best thing I did was self exclude from every online account when I started this "journey", it would have made it more difficult for me to bet if the urges had won, thats a good thing...
Anyway still going!
nah scott its not negative its honest
but your trying to make things better
keep going and keep sharing
