A new Life?

Hi glasglow, 

Its great you feel like that but also great and very sensible that you have the blocks as a backup 

I also hate gambling adverts..i dont think they should be allowed.

Thanks Lou. 

The blocks through Gamstop and my Bank are a massive help.

The fact that I have no way of logging in and gambling is a massive weight off my shoulders whilst I slowly work through this. 

Day 31 

Hi Guys, 

I’m now on day 31 of not gambling.  I never thought I would get here, as each day passes I think about it less and less, even when it does pop in my head it’s a fleeting thought that I seem to be able to dismiss without much thought. 

I don’t think I would ever have got here without this forum GA and Gamstop blocking all access.

I just wish I had done them all years ago.

I’m determined to keep this monkey off my back and keep this diary updated as and when but I’m not sure if counting each day is healthy or not?

All I want to do is move on from this and never go back.

I’ve realised over the last month of not doing it just how much time and energy goes into this addiction. How much I have ignored my responsibilities and the love of those around me to play a stupid online Casino.  

Even though the wins were fleeting and great I knew in my heart that I would play it all back which would start the cycle all over again. 

 I’ve hurt so many people over the years through gambling that I’m lucky to still have those people around me.  

I’m extremely happy and grateful to be on Day 31 and look forward to each new day of being GF. 

Thanks for Reading,

GlasgowG

Hi GlasgowG, hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it but leave what you've done in the past. The best way that you can make amends is by doing what you're doing living gamble free and doing everything possible to stay that way. I'm 6+months gamble free my husband believes how sorry I am but he doesn't trust me and he doesn't know if he can forgive me. But it's ok because I'm confident that I'm doing the right things and nothing is going to derail me I cannot control what my husband thinks but I can control what I do !! You're doing really good well done keep going
